St-Sauveur is now weekends only. <BR> <BR>So we left yesterday in the evening to reach the mountain. The mountain is really devastated, I can't believe how much it melted in 2 weeks over there. Last year, all the Avila side was still skiable. This year, only 2-3 trails would have been possible to ski about T2B. Anyway, the parking lot was closed, so we headed to the side "68" of St-Sauveur. The trails were devastated also, but the Dévaleuse was looking good. So we went up. I was with Christophe (from Zoneski) and each of us our girlfriend for who it was the first hike & ski trip ever... mostly in the dark <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/happy.gif" ALT="
"> <BR> <BR>The snow was not so bad, but it was tough to believe how few it remains, especially as the Côte 68 beside was completely while 2 weeks ago and now, there is almost no snow remaining. <BR> <BR>Here is the Dévaleuse which could still be open, but it misses a short runout to the lift. <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/3842.jpg" ALT="Dévaleuse"> <BR> <BR>Arriving on the other side of the mountain, we were traumatized by the view of the Nordique, which is also devastated. I posted this week many times this pic of last may 10, saying that the conditions were very nice at the end of the season... but actually, there is almost no snow left in this pitch <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/sad.gif" ALT="
