How well Jones Park holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 18°, Jones Park gets about 38% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red Lodge does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Red Lodge. Its top sits at 8,070 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
