How well Connection holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 6°, Connection gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th sunniest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 1,460 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
