How well Gagnon holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 13°, Gagnon gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,320 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.
