Le Massif Ski Resort Elevation

Le Massif Ski Resort has a summit elevation of 2,645 feet, or 806 meters. However, not all of that elevation is able to be skied. The base of the ski slope sits at 118 feet above sea level, creating a ski hill that is 2,527 feet (770 meters) high. This is referred to as the slope's vertical drop - or a measure of how high the skiable hill is.

Le Massif's summit elevation is about average. There are a lot of ski slopes that are quite a bit higher, but also many that are much, much smaller.

Le Massif Ski Resort Difficulty Level

Score
Difficulty Score™
63.7out of 100
←  EasyHard  →
Le Massif's difficulty level of 63.7 is above average. 77% of its trails rated as either intermediate or expert-level, which doesn't leave much for the beginners.
 DID YOU KNOW?

At Parks & Trips, we've created a proprietary Difficulty Score that attempts to show how difficult a particular ski slope is. We get to this number by combining a number of metrics for each resort and comparing them to its peers. Most of the score is based off the amount of easy-intermediate-expert slopes by acreage and the maximum vertical drop of the overall resort, but also includes a few lesser-used metrics as well.

Our algorithm compares each resort’s metrics with all others in North America, then assigns each a Difficulty Score, which we use to rank them accordingly. Resorts with a lower score are easier to ski than those with a higher one. However, a high score does not mean that the resort does not have any easy slopes, or vice versa. This is just an overall score given to the resort based on all its metrics grouped together.

Skiable Terrain by Difficulty Level

Le Massif has 406 total skiable acres, which can be broken down into the three main groups of difficulty: Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert.

Le Massif's difficulty level is higher than average, which is because 35% of its ski trails are rated as intermediate, and another 42% as expert.
Green Circle
Beginner
23%(94 acres)

Beginner trails (identified by a green circle) are the easiest trails on the hill with a gradual 25% or less gradient, and are usually wide to accommodate beginner skiers.

Blue Square
Intermediate
35%(142 acres)

Intermediate trails (identified by a blue square) are usually the most popular and crowded runs, which have a slope of anywhere between 25-40%.

Black Diamond
Expert
42%(170 acres)

Expert trails (identified by a black diamond... or two) are the hardest slopes on the mountain, and have very steep gradients over 40%.

Is Le Massif Ski Resort good for beginners?

Le Massif is above average in its difficulty level, so... probably not? It will depend on which trails you take since only 58% of its trails rated for either beginner or intermediate skill levels.
