Two terrible climates. Nain is at 56°N in Labrador, whereas Pic du Midi de Bigorre is a mountain peak station at an observatory at 42°N in the French Pyrenees. To estimate snowfall is quite difficult for Pic du Midi due to how strange snowfall patterns can be when above sea level, but it could be quite similar to the Nain amount, although I would guess slightly above it (> 500 cm).
Pic du Midi will have much higher sunshine, Nain would probably have about 1,400 hours per year judging by other Eastern Canadian high latitude climates, whereas Pic du Mid depends a lot on how often it ends up above the clouds, but it could easily be above 3,000 hours and with extremely strong UV in summer.
Make sure you consider those factors rather than just the outright weatherboxes.
My vote is for Pic du Midi thanks to the winter sun strength and less cold rain along with more moderate "outdoor winters". However, they're both solid F climates.

Nain. Actually gets some warmth and more variable, pretty close through as the other place has much better precipitation and winter temps.

Nain—more precipitation. That's about it...both of them have bloody frigid everlasting winters, so I'll take the one with more precipitaton, thank you very much!
Ugly climates with ugly polar twilight, the lot of them. Though Nain is an A by maritime standards; all it needs for to become an A+ by these very standards is more winter precipitation, milder winter temps, and colder summer temps allowing for regular summer snowfall.
How's the wind-speed in Nain...may anyone answer? If it is adequately high enough, then it is definately A by maritime standards.

I think you'd find the wind speed in Nain quite appropriate for your activities, year-round.  |

Pic du Midi is a mountain peak at 42°N resulting in no polar twilight. Then it also has summer snowfall (most likely more annually than Nain), and most likely very high winds due to its position way up on a mountain. I think you'd find that place quite epic by your maritime standards to be honest.

Lommaren Fuck me dead...read it wrong again! That changes my answer to the French climate, then. Thank you for the correction.

Nain is worse than Norilsk probably.

Nain is worse than Norilsk probably. Not necessarily. Figure skating or cross-country skiing on the sea bay in winter sounds nicer than Norilsk's dead forests and minimal summers  |

Nain for the higher precipitation and being more interesting in general.
