Blue Le Massif, QC
La Gagnon drops 614 vertical feet over 2,448 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,270 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 40th steepest of 67 named runs at Le Massif. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 15°, La Gagnon gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Le Massif does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Le Massif. Its top sits at 2,060 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.
