Blue Stoneham, QC
L'Orignal drops 170 vertical feet over 1,064 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 740 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 41 named runs at Stoneham. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 9°, L'Orignal gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stoneham does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Stoneham. Its top sits at 1,560 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.
