How well Nansen holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing west at an average 12°, Nansen gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 78th sunniest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,600 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.
