Why Mont-Sainte-Anne dries this way
Terrain & soilMont-Sainte-Anne (Québec City, QC, Canada) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that sheds water and dries quickly. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. The terrain here is rolling (a 7.3° average grade at 1,437 ft) and drains steadily rather than pooling, while the ESE-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day.

How these factors affect drying
SoilLoam
Loam balances drainage with water retention, so it typically takes a day or two to dry after meaningful rain.
CanopyDense 100%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainSheds water
Water runs off this terrain rather than pooling, which helps the surface dry out after rain.
