How well Banff holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Banff gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Bromont does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Ski Bromont. Its top sits at 1,340 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.
