How well Chutzpah holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 21°, Chutzpah gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,410 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.
