How well Lech holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 6°, Lech gets about 86% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th sunniest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,770 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.
