How well Sous-bois Miracle holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 12°, Sous-bois Miracle gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 1,980 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.
