How well Detour holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 6°, Detour gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 1,710 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.
