How well Jump Run holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Jump Run gets about 38% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow King does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 6,590 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.
