How well Jane Craig holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Jane Craig gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Saddleback Maine does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Saddleback Maine. Its top sits at 3,540 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.
