How well Chamonix Bowl holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 23°, Chamonix Bowl gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,750 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
