How well Jack's Dream holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing east at an average 22°, Jack's Dream gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Schweitzer does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Schweitzer. Its top sits at 6,270 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.
