How well Jello's Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northwest at an average 20°, Jello's Bowl gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th shadiest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 11,950 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.
