How well Chip's Bypass holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 10°, Chip's Bypass gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 94th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,090 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.
