How well Jones Ave holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 30°, Jones Ave gets about 47% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 9,010 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.
