How well Banzai holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 14°, Banzai gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 92nd sunniest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,870 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
