Dynamite drops 771 vertical feet over 2,352 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 42° about 1,150 feet below the top. That's steeper than 80% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 128 named runs at Mont Tremblant. It faces east.

How well Dynamite holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 20°, Dynamite gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 86th sunniest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,250 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
