How well Chin Clip Runout holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing east at an average 12°, Chin Clip Runout gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 2,070 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.
