Double black Mont Orford, QC
Contour drops 962 vertical feet over 2,689 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 810 feet below the top. That's steeper than 32% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 62 named runs at Mont Orford. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 21°, Contour gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 2,680 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.
