How well Split Rock holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 21°, Split Rock gets about 159% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,350 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.
