Black diamond Mont Sutton, QC
Miracle drops 883 vertical feet over 3,419 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 61 named runs at Mont Sutton. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Miracle gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th 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.
