Black diamond Mont Sutton, QC
Alpine drops 1,091 vertical feet over 3,871 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 63% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 61 named runs at Mont Sutton. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 17°, Alpine gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,760 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.
