Green Mont Orford, QC
Gagnon drops 163 vertical feet over 788 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 92% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 62 named runs at Mont Orford. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 12°, Gagnon gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 1,920 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.
