How well Whiskey Jack holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Whiskey Jack gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,410 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.
