North Slope drops 95 vertical feet over 586 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 19 named runs at Bousquet. It faces north.

How well North Slope holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 9°, North Slope gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bousquet does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Bousquet. Its top sits at 1,300 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
