Double black Stoneham, QC
L'Urubu drops 535 vertical feet over 1,645 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 1,180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 2,251 double black 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 19°, L'Urubu gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,790 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.
