How well Taiga holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 17°, Taiga gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 60th sunniest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,750 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.
