How well Passe Partout holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Passe Partout gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 1,770 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
