How well Corbet's Couloir holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 36°, Corbet's Couloir gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 10,260 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.
