Jupiter drops 187 vertical feet over 699 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 66th steepest of 125 named runs at Mount Bohemia. It faces south.

How well Jupiter holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 16°, Jupiter gets about 146% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Bohemia does, December through March. That's sunnier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Mount Bohemia. Its top sits at 990 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.
