Double black Le Massif, QC
La Charlevoix (Haut) drops 1,472 vertical feet over 4,846 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 41° about 2,210 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 67 named runs at Le Massif. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 18°, La Charlevoix (Haut) gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Le Massif does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd sunniest named run at Le Massif. Its top sits at 2,350 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.
