Le Massif offers the highest vertical drop east of the Canadian Rockies (2,625 ft). With its indomitable skiable terrain and angled slopes that seem to sweep straight into the sea, the mountain is also reknowned for its impressive snowfall with over 22 ft annually (669 cm). On your stop at the Mountain, why not try the new 7.5 km rodeling run on natural snow, and for expert skiers, explore close to 100 acres of off-trail terrain. Slide enthusiasts are sure to be thrilled!
