Ski areas rules-of-thumb south, north, east, west slope?
score:4
I have skied on slopes facing in all directions. At the end of the day, the slopes are where it is most convenient to build a lift from the valley. There are places like Obertauern (in the Austrian state of Salzburg) which have slopes on all sides of the valley and the mountains’ topography is the basis of your decision where to go.
That said, on the northern hemisphere the obvious difference is that a North-facing slopes will be more in the shade while a South-facing one will be in the sun most of the afternoon (reverse for the southern hemisphere). If temperatures are more on the warmer side, the snow quality on South-facing slopes will deteriorate more rapidly as they get the direct burn of the sun so a North-facing slopes can give better snow conditions. If it is rather cold, the chance of you freezing your important body parts off is higher on the North-facing slope as there is less sun. And if there is less sunlight due to a dense but high cloud cover, your chances of visibility are slightly higher on the South side. If it switches between a little too warm and a little too cold, you will get more ice on the South-facing slope.
It cannot be said which side will receive more snowfall; that depends more on the weather conditions than anything else.
You can transfer all these points to East/West slopes of you think about early sunlight (East) versus late sunlight (West).
