How well Tensleep holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 13°, Tensleep gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 125th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,900 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
