Sous-Bois Youp drops 524 vertical feet over 1,666 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 240 feet below the top. That's steeper than 22% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 61 named runs at Mont Sutton. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 18°, Sous-Bois Youp gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 2,200 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.
