How well La Bouchard holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 16°, La Bouchard gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Le Massif does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Le Massif. Its top sits at 2,600 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.
