How well Alta Chute 2 holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 36°, Alta Chute 2 gets about 41% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,070 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.
