How well Magog holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Magog gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 1,970 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.
