How well Jean-Davignon holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 14°, Jean-Davignon gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 2,020 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.
