How well Harfang-des-Neiges holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 8°, Harfang-des-Neiges gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 890 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.
