How well La Boréale holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 13°, La Boréale gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,360 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.
