How well Jackalope holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 9°, Jackalope gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Granby does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Ski Granby. Its top sits at 9,160 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
