How well Chipmunk holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 15°, Chipmunk gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mad River Glen does, December through March. That's sunnier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Mad River Glen. Its top sits at 2,540 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.
