How well Chipmunk Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 14°, Chipmunk Bowl gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mad River Glen does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Mad River Glen. Its top sits at 2,160 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.
