I think that ski resorts that have both early and late season skiing should market a "off-season pass" that would allow skiers to ski from beginning to December 15 and from April 1st till the end. <BR> <BR>From a resort standpoint, it would reinforce their clientele at both ends of the season...

A lot of good philosophical ski questions arising today! Here's my humble contribution: <BR>--> Where do we derive pleasure in the activity of skiing? <BR>Anonymous' question concerning the value of yo-yoing in early season skiing makes it obvious that the conditions (snow, terrain, crowd)...

Sorry for the repeat in my message.... Frank hadn't posted when I started replying...

As seen on a press release in the news section, here are the Canadian skier days by province for the last season: <BR> <BR>Québec: 6,900,000 <BR>British Columbia: 5,500,000 <BR>Ontario: 3,200,000 <BR>Alberta: 2,400,000 <BR>Nova Scotia + PEI + Newfoundland & L + New Brunswick: 570,000...

About Ste-Anne: <BR>They will open one trail (the Pente-école) on Saturday and Sunday of next week (11 and 12), including some rails & boxes. It will be free of charge. (I do not know if the T-Bar will be operating though)

I'm currently at 12 (11 of which in Québec) at age 20. <BR> <BR>I plan to add quite a few new ones to my list this year, including: <BR>Glen <BR>Shefford <BR>Mont Saint-Bruno <BR>La Réserve <BR>Massif du Sud <BR>Alta (Qc) <BR>Tremblant <BR>Mont Gabriel <BR>Cannon <BR>Sugarloaf <BR>Killington...

You've had a great hiking day, Frank. <BR> <BR>On my part, I've been hiking Sutton today, to flee the condo-building race that's going on around my house. <BR> <BR>There really isn't much news beside the building at the base. Extreme trail #49 on the map won't be officially opened this year, so...

It's my first time in Sutton since 2 months and I really wish architects had a little more taste! Both on and off mountain, horrible new buildings have sprung. <BR> <BR>Let's start with the new building in which the mountain will transfer the shop & rental. Though I highly recognize the need for...

Seen on Mont Sainte-Anne's website: season will run from November 15 to May 2, 2004.

More importantly, 200K visits is much below what is used to be under ASC's management. The ASC annual reports show that sugarbush skier visits were: <BR>98-99: 368K <BR>99-00: 325K <BR>00-01: 359K <BR>So, in general, this year's visits would have been more than 40% lower than they used to be...

Hello all,... great discussion going on here! <BR> <BR>It may seem strange at first, but I think that the lack of blue trails dedicated to moguls, especially at Cannon, could be due to a lack of true green runs. <BR> <BR>Basically, all resorts tend to try catering to every type of skier, and...

That "chondola" idea seems quite strange. Maybe it's just a marketing fad, but I find it comes at a hefty price. I'm curious to know the reasons behind that choice. <BR> <BR>Quick update on Sutton: I was confirmed a new building will be built in the parking lot below chair #2. It will be the new...

I just saw a message on Tenney's website announcing they were cancelling the freestyle session scheduled tomorrow (26th), and that the snow park would be closed till October. <BR> <BR>On a brighter side, though they haven't been able to demonstrate year-round skiing was achievable with actual...

Here we go! <BR> <BR>TRUE: <BR>1. Of course I ski more than 25 days a winter! The only year I skied less than that I was 2 years old. <BR>3 <BR>4 <BR>5 <BR>7 - Let's just say it's more difficult to cut the pass of an intructor, even though he would deserve it (I can't imagine a regular skier...

Almost forgot a pretty big news item: <BR>Sutton season-pass holders will be allowed to ski free at Mont Saint-Bruno (MSB) all weekday evenings. I think it's a very wise move both from Sutton, who really adds value to the pass, especially as most Sutton skiers live on the South Shore, and from...

I went hiking at Sutton last weekend and there's not much hapenning there. They're repainting all buildings and are changing 2 bullwheels (#7top, #4W bottom). The only strange thing is a big dig in the parking, just behind the drive terminal of chair #2. It looks like it could be the early work...

Gee! I knew Orford's lift were in bad shape but didn't expect them to change them all at once, especially as they haven't reached an agreement with the government yet for their expansion... <BR> <BR>--- <BR>In other topic here, Bromont posted a pic on their website a few weeks ago showing them...

If the anti-summer group is changed for a anti-periodoftheyearwedon'tski group, I'm in! <BR> <BR>Cause I don't find summer that bad, actually: you just have to bike a little at dawn or dusk in the warm air to like this season... or spend a day in a pool... or at a terrasse... or at a lake... or...

Patrick - just a clarification here: <BR> <BR>When I say the word development, I mean it in the way it should be: something that is added to improve on something, or to make it enjoyable to more people. <BR> <BR>If by development you understand wiping out what made the original version great to...

Wow! I didn't think my little dream would get you going like this! I'm glad to see you so interested in that topic. <BR> <BR>Some of you seemed uncertain concerning some topics, so I'll do my best to inform you to the best of my knowledge. <BR> <BR>* Concerning Mont Écho, the closest village was...
