How well La Promenade holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 11°, La Promenade gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Massif Du Sud does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Massif Du Sud. Its top sits at 2,950 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.
