How well Quad Chute holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Quad Chute gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 810 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
