Blue Mont Sutton, QC
Zig-zag drops 142 vertical feet over 683 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 18% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 61 named runs at Mont Sutton. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Zig-zag gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Sutton does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Mont Sutton. Its top sits at 1,840 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.
