How well La Timide holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 14°, La Timide gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Massif Du Sud does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Massif Du Sud. Its top sits at 2,140 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.
