Double black Mont Orford, QC
Lacroix drops 849 vertical feet over 2,647 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 1,920 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 62 named runs at Mont Orford. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Lacroix gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 1,940 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.
