How well Détroit holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 13°, Détroit gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Bromont does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th sunniest named run at Ski Bromont. Its top sits at 1,580 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.
