How well Les Îlots holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 13°, Les Îlots gets about 131% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont-Sainte-Anne does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Its top sits at 2,510 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.
