Double black Stoneham, QC
Zipper drops 668 vertical feet over 2,146 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 24% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 5th steepest of 41 named runs at Stoneham. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 19°, Zipper gets about 131% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,700 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.
