How well Archipel Bas holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Archipel Bas gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Mont Tremblant. 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.
