Hey Marc, is the main problem in northern QC to let understand a skier what's the difference between bumps and powder ? lol (Valinouet inside) For Mt Edouard, it's sad I finally didn't ski it this year, especially as next one, working 80 hours by week during winter, I don't know if I'm going to be able to ski far from Mtl. <BR> <BR>I wonder what was your reaction seeing 77 new messages in a single discussion ! lol. I guess it have been long to read in 1 shot ! <BR> <BR>Thanks for the compliment on Contour ! For le Massif du Sud, yes, except René Godbout, there is certainly not many persons who talk in english in that place. I don't know if you tried the mountain after april 2001, but since that, they finished some new glades (#2,3,8) and the 2 first are the less known in the mountain and there was something like 1 feet of powder when I went there... at a moment where all the other mountains of QC and New England were covered of ice, in early march 2002. It's sure they're a little bit hard to find, for the new skiers of the place. #2 is enough wild, #3 is perfect powder glade. #4 is huge powder glade incredible, #5 is one of the best straight shot trail in the east, with over 40 degrees on sooooo long, #6 was all in powder when I went, but I prefered the even steeper #7, which was a little bit wild, but incredibly coooool. All them are in the steepest trail in the east. (except 2 and 3 a little bit less steep). #8 is as long as Jay's Everglade, you change 3-4 times of vegetation during the run and it use a gigantic canyon for 50% of the length. It's over 1 mile long. The only problem of the mountain is the length of the chairlift. The runs are almost as long at Ste-Anne, even though it's 750' less high. the upper part is almost completely flat, but it allows to reach the far extreme side of the mountain. It's also cool to pass over the tree summit line, with the chairlift which is not so high. But at 0 farenheit with gusty winds.... ishhhhhhhhhhhh ouchhhhh. <BR> <BR>For the Beartooth, I didn't know it was just surface lifts, but I wouldn't care of that. I looked today to the Chromer & Lftgly pics in Tuckerman Ravine on AUGUST 1 and 4, 2001 and I can tell you right now these guys would certainly accept to take some surface lifts ! hahahaha (they're almost worst than mine) <BR> <BR>Chromer <BR><A HREF="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/16/1179.html?997315621" TARGET="_top">http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/16/1179.html?997315621</A> <BR> <BR>Lftgly <BR><A HREF="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/16/1169.html?996705909" TARGET="_top">http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/16/1169.html?996705909</A> <BR> <BR>honestly, even Ward Hill beat this, but not in august ! <BR> <BR>And for Kevin, if you have any worth pic of Killington in may or june or october, there is a chance of 100% that I save them on my disk, cause I really look to find some pics like that !!!
