Black diamond Stoneham, QC
Jacques-Cartier drops 565 vertical feet over 2,180 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 410 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 41 named runs at Stoneham. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 15°, Jacques-Cartier gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,480 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.
