Sad to hear about Le Massif. My family should have been a big fat target market for them. We aren't diehards like most on this forum, but for a number of years we did at least one or two ski trips a year with the kids, dropping a good bit of change on each one. Loved the idea of Le Massif...

So you can drink beer on the way up, n'est pas?

Sounds familiar from daughter's ski lesson days. Been to Edelweiss, Fortune and Cascade this season, and for the pitiful bit of snow Ottawa has had, I give them kudos for keeping reasonable conditions in a tough year.

Is Sutton protected from the wind better than Jay? Better refuge on really blowing days?

Damn, I killed a cat. Sorry, couldn't access the newspage earlier today. Feel free to zap the thread.
