How well Hors Piste holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Hors Piste gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Le Massif does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Le Massif.

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.
