Centre de ski Saint-Georges

Centre de ski Saint-Georges is a ski touring route in Maine, about a mile from the town of La Croix Depot. The trail is a loop of roughly 1.1 miles, with a high point of 848 feet and a low of 571 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.83 miles, where the grade reaches 21 percent. The total elevation gain is 264 feet, and the total loss is 314 feet, so the route is a short, low-elevation outing that works well as a day of touring. Winter is the natural season for this kind of outing. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 21°F with lows near 0°F, while July and August run about 76°F. That station sits about 230 feet higher than the route, so temperatures on the trail may run slightly warmer. For more time on the snow, the closest neighbor is the La Croix Depot area itself, about 20 miles away.
