How well Rope Tow holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 12°, Rope Tow gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,850 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.
