How well Forêt Magique holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 11°, Forêt Magique gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 1,480 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.
