Double black Mont-Sainte-Anne, QC
Le Canyon drops 1,377 vertical feet over 4,211 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,080 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 74 named runs at Mont-Sainte-Anne. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 19°, Le Canyon gets about 128% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont-Sainte-Anne does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Its top sits at 2,610 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
