How well Jalapeno holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 20°, Jalapeno gets about 171% of the winter sun that flat ground at Revelstoke does, December through March. That's sunnier than 100% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Revelstoke. Its top sits at 7,170 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.
