How well La Transit holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 12°, La Transit gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Massif Du Sud does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Massif Du Sud. Its top sits at 2,630 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.
