How well Jibland holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 6°, Jibland gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,530 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
