Snow preservationAverage

Facing west at an average 18°, Powder Chamber gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 58% of the runs we've measured, and the 87th sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,390 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.
