Black diamond Stoneham, QC
La St-Adolphe drops 618 vertical feet over 2,412 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 950 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 41 named runs at Stoneham. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 15°, La St-Adolphe gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,470 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.
