How well Hors-Piste Zone 1 holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 18°, Hors-Piste Zone 1 gets about 126% of the winter sun that flat ground at Le Massif does, December through March. That's sunnier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Le Massif. Its top sits at 2,600 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.
