How well Buffalo holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 21°, Buffalo gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Bromont does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th sunniest named run at Ski Bromont. Its top sits at 1,610 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
