How well Schuss Chute holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Schuss Chute gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hoodoo does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Hoodoo. Its top sits at 5,210 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.
