How well Kangourou holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 18°, Kangourou gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,520 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.
