How well Main Street holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Main Street gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bousquet does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Bousquet. Its top sits at 1,530 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.
