How well Réaction holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 15°, Réaction gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,710 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.
