How well Chipper holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 7°, Chipper gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Sugarloaf. Its top sits at 2,960 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.
