How well Lower Midway Chute holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 8°, Lower Midway Chute gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hoodoo does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Hoodoo. Its top sits at 5,180 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.
