Blue Mont Orford, QC
Cascade drops 685 vertical feet over 3,584 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 730 feet below the top. That's steeper than 72% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 62 named runs at Mont Orford. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Cascade gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 1,950 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.
