Blue Mont Orford, QC
La 45 drops 169 vertical feet over 500 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 84% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 62 named runs at Mont Orford. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, La 45 gets about 43% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 1,890 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
