Blue Mont Tremblant, QC
Axel drops 96 vertical feet over 1,110 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 87th steepest of 128 named runs at Mont Tremblant. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 5°, Axel gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,560 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.
