How well Shortcut holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 14°, Shortcut gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,200 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.
