How well Flip Point holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 25°, Flip Point gets about 110% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 117th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,420 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
