How well Chantrelle holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 15°, Chantrelle gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,370 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.
