How well La Saint-Laurent holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 20°, La Saint-Laurent gets about 138% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont-Sainte-Anne does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Its top sits at 2,570 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.
