Black diamond Mont Tremblant, QC
La Traverse drops 315 vertical feet over 1,191 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 650 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 128 named runs at Mont Tremblant. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 15°, La Traverse gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Tremblant does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Mont Tremblant. Its top sits at 2,460 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.
