How well Daly Chute 2 holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 36°, Daly Chute 2 gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,100 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.
