How well 6 Bee-bop, Alouette holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 9°, 6 Bee-bop, Alouette gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,000 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
