How well Sous Bois II holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 12°, Sous Bois II gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,160 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.
