How well Radjack holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 26°, Radjack gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitefish does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 73rd sunniest named run at Whitefish. Its top sits at 6,300 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.
