How well La Gagné holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 8°, La Gagné gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Le Massif does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Le Massif. Its top sits at 2,130 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.
