How well Jayhawk holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 9°, Jayhawk gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 10,260 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.
