Blue Le Massif, QC
La Racine drops 801 vertical feet over 4,719 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,720 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 31st steepest of 67 named runs at Le Massif. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, La Racine gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Le Massif does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Le Massif. Its top sits at 1,120 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.
