How well Mary Jane Upper holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 19°, Mary Jane Upper gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th shadiest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 10,850 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.
