How well Emótion holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 18°, Emótion gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,780 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.
