How well Trois-Ruisseaux holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 18°, Trois-Ruisseaux gets about 82% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's shadier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 2,710 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.
