How well Schnell holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing east at an average 22°, Schnell gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont-Sainte-Anne does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 57th sunniest named run at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Its top sits at 2,170 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.
