How well Zig Zag holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southwest at an average 19°, Zig Zag gets about 124% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,780 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.
