Black diamond Stoneham, QC
Le Détour drops 298 vertical feet over 1,267 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 8% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 41 named runs at Stoneham. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 14°, Le Détour gets about 139% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,280 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
