How well Alta Chute3 holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 28°, Alta Chute3 gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 127th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 8,830 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.
