How well Fripp holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 14°, Fripp gets about 122% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,650 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
