How well Chipper holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northwest at an average 9°, Chipper gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 1,410 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
