Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 14°, Upper Chisolm gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mountain High does, December through March. That's shadier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Mountain High. Its top sits at 7,910 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.
