Black diamond Le Massif, QC
La Dufour drops 1,020 vertical feet over 3,653 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 2,760 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 41st steepest of 67 named runs at Le Massif. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 16°, La Dufour gets about 90% of the winter sun that flat ground at Le Massif does, December through March. That's sunnier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th sunniest named run at Le Massif. Its top sits at 1,960 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
