How well Chaser holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 7°, Chaser gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Willamette does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Willamette. Its top sits at 5,920 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.
