How well Kananaskis holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 10°, Kananaskis gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Bromont does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Ski Bromont. Its top sits at 1,290 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
