Green Mont Orford, QC
Petite Coulée drops 78 vertical feet over 456 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 78% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 42nd steepest of 62 named runs at Mont Orford. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 10°, Petite Coulée gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont Orford does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Mont Orford. Its top sits at 1,930 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.
