How well Daly Chute 6 holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 21°, Daly Chute 6 gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,060 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.
