Black diamond Mont Orford, QC
Sherbrooke drops 1,023 vertical feet over 3,561 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 1,020 feet below the top. That's steeper than 39% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 62 named runs at Mont Orford. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 17°, Sherbrooke gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 2,060 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.
