How well Jaw Bone holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 8°, Jaw Bone gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Spout Springs does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Spout Springs. Its top sits at 5,300 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.
