D Chute drops 498 vertical feet over 1,468 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 45% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 30th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 21°, D Chute gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 75th sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 11,770 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.
