How well Chaser holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 10°, Chaser gets about 128% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hemlock Resort does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Hemlock Resort. Its top sits at 3,330 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.
