How well No Brake Jake holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 24°, No Brake Jake gets about 148% of the winter sun that flat ground at Turner Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Turner Mountain. Its top sits at 5,550 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
