How well Forêt du Sasquatch holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, Forêt du Sasquatch gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Massif Du Sud does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Massif Du Sud. Its top sits at 2,020 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.
