How well Sheridian Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 26°, Sheridian Bowl gets about 150% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,450 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.
