How well Almony Chutes holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 24°, Almony Chutes gets about 45% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,420 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.
