How well Jimmy's Run holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 19°, Jimmy's Run gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Homewood does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Homewood. Its top sits at 7,170 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
