Blue Ski Bromont, QC
Ottawa drops 787 vertical feet over 4,160 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 1,320 feet below the top. That's steeper than 80% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 113 named runs at Ski Bromont. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Ottawa gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Bromont does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 48th sunniest named run at Ski Bromont. Its top sits at 1,610 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.
