Black diamond Bousquet, MA
Jewett drops 259 vertical feet over 937 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 41% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 19 named runs at Bousquet. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 16°, Jewett gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bousquet does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Bousquet. Its top sits at 1,770 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
