How well Jackpot holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 18°, Jackpot gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Dodge Ridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Dodge Ridge. Its top sits at 7,680 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
