How well Chickadee holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing south at an average 10°, Chickadee gets about 120% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's sunnier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 8,240 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.
