How well Chatterbox Glades holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 13°, Chatterbox Glades gets about 113% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,620 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
