it was just tough to believe, Patrick, as there was no rain or snow for weeks... and even yesterday night, they were not forecasting any rain for the area. Hopefully there won't be some clouds and storm tomorrow, to let us a chance to enjoy the snowfields and to see the mountain, as we've seen...

Yes, but today, we've been caught in a snowstorm on the mountain and it had to shut down the lifts around 9h this morning because of the storm. At least, we had the time to do 3 runs (1 T2B and 2 on Magic Mile only, as Palmer closed just after we reached the summit, early in the morning). They...

I'm here at home in Montreal and sunday morning, I'll be skiing at Timberline Lodge, while today marks my 2nd month without skiing... do you think I'm eager ? Still looks good out there, although the top of Magic Mile is slowly dying and I guess there won't be anything interesting there to ski...

You tell it ! allergies, humidex... 40 celsius, very hot down here too (I'm sure it's 75-80 without humidity in Charlevoix... hmmmm) Yes Anthony, this is Mt Avila. There was snow left up to extreme-late june (we almost got there on june 24th for some crazy carpet lol) Not a bad idea for the...

back on skiing, thanks for the infos about courses and competition reserved spaces. I'm not really surprised to see the pics, but I'm sure that like Marc said, the teams won't be on the hills everytime during the day, so we will surely have a chance to switch some times of trails... I 100%...

We also see clearly enough Camel's Hump ;) But if we're not on the mountain, the view is... humm... not really spectacular ;)

Glad to see that you're back home Pat ! I guess it was hard to get back at work after a trip like that ! Don't you worry Marc, I'm 25, and Chris is 32 so this is not a problem. However, the car is already reserved, but I may tell this to Chris (in case it's possible to cancel... I'm not really...

Not the car, but the lodging is included, was it in your 500$ deal ? (If I count the fuel + using car to get in Ottawa, it's probably not really more interesting) For the car, we should have it for about $300 US, (185$ basic + all the taxes and other stuff) Are you back in Canada Pat ?

Interesting, for the 163$ from Albany... but as you say, it's just a difference of 100$ which is not a real problem for us to pay, considering we leave from Montreal... We will share one room (with 2 beds of course), way less expensive ! I hope the hotel is correct, it was looking OK at first...

Actually, I've not see the hotel yet (supposed to be *** (3 stars)) and I still wonder if there is a mistake, but the deal we got was extremely interesting. Christophe was beginning to think that we would not be able to get some decent rates, but finally, today, after weeks of searching, he...

We reserved some airplane places + lodging + rental car, today, so we should be there for the end of july and early august. It's too bad I was not able to ski in june this year (ended on may 27th), because I would have skied during 11 months in a row !

Ouch ! really nice pics Tony ! Happy to know that Pat is OK

actually, I even offered Patrick to pay him a digital camera but he doesn't want... I'm eager to see those pics, that's sure !

And take a lots of pics for me too please ! lucky guy !

I'm getting crazy me too... don't you worry Jonny !

Congrats River ! It is me or it melted quite fast this year, compared to year 2003 and previous... (2004 and 2005 were not really representative...)

Me too ! in Montreal ?

Interesting, although it's a little bit sad that when we'll be at the mountain (if everything works out), we will only have the Palmer to ski, without the out of bounds and magic mile... But anyway, it will still be very very nice ! Thanks for the report & pics !

Nice ! Congratulations to have made it into summer ;)

WOW ! Thanks for both Tucks and Baffin Island ! What an incredible place ! Thanks !
