How well Khione holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 11°, Khione gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 2,080 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.
