Les Merisiers drops 305 vertical feet over 1,276 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 870 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 41 named runs at Stoneham. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Les Merisiers gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,610 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.
