How well L'Érablière holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing east at an average 18°, L'Érablière gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont-Sainte-Anne does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Its top sits at 1,480 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
