Finally got some free time.........
My annual trip with the ski widow ended up in Quebec City this year. Definitely a must-do on any skiers list. Based out of the Chateau Frontenac. We spent much time in the D'orsay Pub, great beer, great food, great service, and a beautiful window seat every time! This is the advantage of off-season.........cheap rates, and the city to yourself. So as Pam shopped and hit a couple museums, I hit the slopes for a couple days.
Hit Mt. Saint Anne on Wednesday with about (10) other people total on the hill. Weather wasn't great but not bad. Was in and out of clouds all day. Some good adventure skiing was to be had.
Went up to Le Massif Thursday. Totally different than Mt. St. Anne, much more no frills and skier oriented, (ticket cost me $70.00 at MSA, $48.00 at Le Massif, and Le Massif had three times as much skiing and a lot more snow). After climbing about 1,600 vertical through the hills, took a 3.3 mile dirt road to get in to the summit lot! Beautiful spring day today. Great hill. Again only about (20) people there! The whole adventure of skiing and getting to Le Massif turned out to be a top five day ever! Nothing like skiing on the fringe past closed lifts and hoping you don't have an hour hike back.................just a euphoric feeling driving back down to QC that late afternoon!
Just thought I'd throw this out there for those interested in a new adventure that is drivable.....................
