How well Chaos holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 13°, Chaos gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Star does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 66th shadiest named run at Silver Star. Its top sits at 4,870 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.
