How well Capucine holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 11°, Capucine gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,140 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.
