How well Le Septième Ciel holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 21°, Le Septième Ciel gets about 43% of the winter sun that flat ground at Massif Du Sud does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Massif Du Sud. Its top sits at 2,740 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.
