How well Gannett holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 24°, Gannett gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 120th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 8,850 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.
