How well Knowlton holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 15°, Knowlton gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Bromont does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Ski Bromont. Its top sits at 1,750 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.
