How well Spirit Chute holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 5°, Spirit Chute gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 9,170 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.
