How well A Fantaisie holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 8°, A Fantaisie gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,510 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.
