Double black Mont Sutton, QC
Sous-bois IV A drops 531 vertical feet over 1,535 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 1,120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 16% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 61 named runs at Mont Sutton. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, Sous-bois IV A gets about 45% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,620 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.
