As Mont-Ste-Anne is concerned, Yesterday they got their 2,00m packed deep snow (record). It is 6'7'' deep well packed on the ground. The last snow was 40 cm or 16 inches of fresh Wedmesday and Thurday. The forest is gorgeous on fat skis! Last time I skied at Loaf it was maybe 2002 opended in...

No reply from Patrick! Is he sick??? :lol: Today (Dec 27) the set up was to be more aventurous and explore the Valley of Birch or Secret Valley. Not really a secret anymore but very few riders to meet anyway. More longer than last year. 4 different trails or exits the longest coming out...

Mont-Edouard-L'Anse-Saint-Jean (Saguenay Fjord Region). 3 hour drive North of Quebec City. Far away from home but not so cold this year. Very strange feeling to be warm here in this time of season. Only 0ne inch this morning less than Chicoutimi (only 45 minutes drive). All ski trails were...

4 others pictures from Stoneham Yesterday. Snow conditions were 2 inches on hard pack. The upper part of the mountain #4 is steeper but not very long. Brown velvet eyes! Time to put some fresh tracks on Mt-Edouard. This morning in Chicoutimi 4 inches of fresh. Expecting around 8 inches at the...

I was at MSA today. Well what a difference a day make! For the worst. It's not about not enough snow, there still a lot of it. No problem. No rocks. That more of a hard pack like man-made snow. They were out of time to make a good job on ski trails. Some golf balls. No expert trails open (all...

Coming back from MSA (Dec. 22). Very few skiers on the mountain No lift-line. Light rain and about 33F. All the big stuff on South Face is full open. Light snow expected tomorrow and Wednesday puting some coffe cream on top. Everything is set for a great show from the visitors! I heard some...

A 1 hour North-East of Quebec City and you're set for a beautiful day of skiing with a nice view on St-Lawrence River. Lot of snow at some part of the mountain but few on Cap Maillard (as seen from pictures from the quad) because of the wind of Monday. Expert only trails not open yet. MSA was...

OK Let's make it clear. MRG is the best ski area in the East. Patrick will be happy. But it's far away from Quebec City! One of my usual skiing mountain is MSA. The expert only trails as seen from Val-des-Neiges and Domaine des Neiges condos (1 mile from Mont-Stainte-Anne). Check the first...

I agree! No rain or any wet/ too warm temperature from mid-Nov until now at MSA. That ski resort opened some double black trails last week end like S, Super S (the twins), Crete, Canyon (tight), Gondola and Brunelle (longest wood at Mont-Ste-Anne). Some on natural snow. And now another storm: 10...

Sunday Nov 25 at MSA. 4 inches of fresh this morning No rain or freezing rain until now. Around 28F. Perfect day for skiing as it was Yesterday and Friday (10 inches for Friday morning). Only North Face open: about 18 trails. Vertical drop: 1000' One fast quad (and a T-bar for WE). Today...

I understand that Prophete 130 might be his everyday ski. Well almost! It's not the 130mm that's is the problem theses skis are very too long for eastern woods standards. Make skis wider but shorter. But this market is too small. On 90mm at center it like walking with high heels or skating. I...

Until you buy one of my skis....yes! My dresses are complaining, too much skis in the wardrobe. Idon't uderstand that Pat is stick to one pair of race skis. 2000cm or something? Hard core "nostalgic historian" Glen Plake himself put his old 215 cm skis to the garbage. :wink: By the way I...

Great report Pat! Sometime you just have to ski where wind chill is lower. Mont-Sainte-Anne had lot of sunny trails without wind (triple chairs area). Not so on Mt-Tremblant. What about Versant Soleil? Is it open? It might be better there...

For the first time in 2007 at MSA some expert trails were open Sat 20. The S and Super S (lot of artificial fog there!) and Beauregard (Left side) with 3 huges moguls. Great fun to ride and still powder in the "S" trail. Still missing the glades runs like the 3 ones in Black Forest, Brunelle...
