How well Kandahar holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 16°, Kandahar gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 67th sunniest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,850 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.
