Blue Mont-Sainte-Anne, QC
L'Orléans drops 380 vertical feet over 1,716 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 55% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 74 named runs at Mont-Sainte-Anne. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 13°, L'Orléans gets about 121% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mont-Sainte-Anne does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Mont-Sainte-Anne. Its top sits at 1,230 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.
