Black diamond Mont Sutton, QC
Sélection drops 311 vertical feet over 1,005 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 24% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 61 named runs at Mont Sutton. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 18°, Sélection 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 17th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,310 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.
