How well Wipeout Chute 2 holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 31°, Wipeout Chute 2 gets about 33% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 10,790 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.
