Maxi drops 1,117 vertical feet over 3,434 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 65% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 62 named runs at Mont Orford. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 19°, Maxi gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 2,510 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.
