La Bélanger drops 1,039 vertical feet over 4,623 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,270 feet below the top. That's steeper than 71% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 74 named runs at Mont-Sainte-Anne. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 13°, La Bélanger gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont-Sainte-Anne does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Its top sits at 2,620 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.
