Uhhhh, by Laurentians, do you only think of the region of the same name, just north of Montreal or you also talk of Quebec/Charlevoix regions ? <BR> <BR>Conditions this weekend, I'm not very positive about them, sorry. About a inch of snow fell today, according to the reports, but it's the first inch for a lot of time... (in the laurentians) and the conditions should be better in the Massif area, but it's quite farther from New England. <BR> <BR>Around Montreal, the only big mountain of the Laurentians is Tremblant. There is 3 "900 to 1000 footers" (Val Saint-Côme, Garceau and la Réserve) and there is a bunch of little ski areas of 700' and less. The townships could be a better choice this weekend with some snow in view tonight and some greater verticals. <BR> <BR>If you still want to go in the Laurentians, my recommandations : <BR> <BR>- Steepness : Val Saint-Côme (Saint-Côme) <BR>- Extreme skiing : Ski La Réserve (Saint-Donat) and Val St-Côme as #2. <BR>- Backcountry : La Réserve (conditions risk to be quite bad though in BC) <BR>- Off-piste (inbound) : Alta (Val-David / Ste-Agathe) <BR>- Groomers : Val Saint-Côme <BR>- South facing (in case of sun) : Val Saint-Côme ; Garceau (St-Donat) <BR>- Distance : MSS (Saint-Sauveur) <BR>- Night Skiing : MSS <BR> <BR>I'm going to be in the Laurentians this weekend. Tomorrow, I may try the most little ski area in the region, before my firm's party and sunday, I may head farther... something like Val Saint-Côme, Garceau or la Réserve.
