How well Calendar Chute holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 26°, Calendar Chute gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st shadiest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 12,250 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.
