How well Medicine Hat holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southwest at an average 8°, Medicine Hat gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Bromont does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Ski Bromont. Its top sits at 1,410 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
