How well Honeycomb Chutes holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing east at an average 41°, Honeycomb Chutes gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Solitude does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Solitude. Its top sits at 10,470 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.
