Blue Stoneham, QC
La Grande-Virée drops 1,093 vertical feet over 5,237 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 2,240 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 21st steepest of 41 named runs at Stoneham. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 12°, La Grande-Virée gets about 127% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,940 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.
