How well Albany holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 5°, Albany gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Bromont does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Ski Bromont. Its top sits at 1,640 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.
