How well L'Anguille holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 16°, L'Anguille gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Le Massif does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Le Massif. Its top sits at 1,300 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.
