How well Première Glisse holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 5°, Première Glisse gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont-Sainte-Anne does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st sunniest named run at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Its top sits at 590 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.
