How well Grenoble holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Grenoble gets about 88% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's sunnier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,670 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.
