How well Jerry's Way holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Jerry's Way gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,090 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.
