How well Lower Beaujolais holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northwest at an average 9°, Lower Beaujolais gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 8,450 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.
