Shane Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Lots of good snow lately. It was quite fluffy and soft this past weekend, which is always a joy to see. Sadly still have yet to get out onto the slopes. "Hoping" to change that in the near future. Gordo, have you done the new glade on Meech this year? How is it? What does it compare to as far as steepness and difficulty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 @Shane the new glade on Meech is excellent, it may be my favorite run of the resort. The run is rated black with a good pitch after the flat entry. The run is pretty wide and the trees are well spaced with many line options, some steeper then others.

Ocean Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I really do wish they'd put lighting on Meech. It would add so much more to the experience at Fortune! @Gordo I'll probably do Edelweiss Thursday but could potentially pop in for last hour of the day, we'll see (how busy it is, how conditions are, etc).

Ocean Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 @Paul is Owl's Head typically crazy busy on President's weekend or does it stay relatively steady? Figured you might know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 @Ocean back in the day when I was there it would get busy enough sometimes to run the Green Chair for a day! Not the whole week though. Nowadays it's not as busy. I skied OH during Quebec March break last season, and I don't think I spent more than 5-10 minutes in line at any of the chairs, and that was without the Old Lake Quad running. It's hit and miss sometimes. Since they converted the Appartment Hotel to private condos, there is only the auberge at the Mountain Haus for lodging, and that is only 10 rooms. So it may not be so busy as it used to be. Sutton would probably be nuts. More so if it snows. Ocean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 @Paul thanks! Friends went to Owl's Head Saturday, then Sutton yesterday and Orford today and I met them there for some afternoon runs! It was nice in the sun, starting to crust up (and hard to see contour) in the shade, and overall pretty great conditions. Too cold for a lot of trip report photos though!

Ocean Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Also: 15-20cm incoming to the Laurentians and Charlevoix! (well, anywhere north really). Townships should be a mix of snow ending with rain and warm temps end of day. Also wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 @Ocean Camp Fortune only got a little over 5cms. I went last night though and the skiing was great. Nice smeary snow and warm temperatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 @Gordo the storm underperformed in the Laurentians, but it was still nice. It iced up a bit later in the evening. Next storm Thursday maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 @Ocean Wednesday into Thursday could be a big one, like the biggest of the season. Fingers crossed. If it’s over 20cm I think i’ll take Thursday off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
