How well Jackrabbit holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Jackrabbit gets about 80% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sierra-At-Tahoe does, December through March. That's shadier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Sierra-At-Tahoe. Its top sits at 8,280 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
