How well Chuck’s Hideout holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Chuck’s Hideout gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 74th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 7,670 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.
