How well Cirque Gully holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 16°, Cirque Gully gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 123rd sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 8,990 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.
