Black diamond Mont Orford, QC
Rochers Jumeaux drops 139 vertical feet over 377 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 320 feet below the top. That's steeper than 86% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 62 named runs at Mont Orford. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 23°, Rochers Jumeaux gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 2,090 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.
