How well Jack's holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Jack's gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Heavenly does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 71st shadiest named run at Heavenly. Its top sits at 9,060 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.
