How well Cliff Jump holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 13°, Cliff Jump gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kelly Canyon does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Kelly Canyon. Its top sits at 6,140 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.
