Gordo Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Checking Mont Chilly's Facebook site it seems some new features are in the works. They mention "4 new and exciting things" are coming. Possibly a new glade run has been cut? Info here: https://www.facebook.com/MontChilly/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Mont Chilly teased yesterday with some pictures of a Chainsaw and that it saw heavy use this summer... Widening of trails, or new trails... Still no complete details on what is in store for this new season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Cool they should be able to get a earlier start to the season this year, maybe over the xmas break. Going to Jay Peak this weekend for some glades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Anyone heard anything when Mont Chilly might open? Seems kind of odd that it hasn't considering how much early season snow we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 No idea. There's nothing on the Facebook page. I do know that the website and the social media is handled by a friend of the mountain and not Mont Chilly directly. I believe the last two years they were open in February and March. I'll do some checking and report back if I get any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Looks like Chilly opened up on Jan. 29th. A person posted on the Facebook page that the conditions were perfect for opening day. I guess you need to phone ahead to find out as they didn't post anything about it opening. The weekend of Feb. 11-12th might be the perfect time to go as it looks like a much of snow is going to fall during the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Wow thanks Locknar, I had emailed a contact I had there and hadn't gotten a reply back so it's good to hear that they have opened. At $20 a visit you really can't go wrong. The mountain is not busy and the trails are fun and enjoyable and natural. It's really a special place. When do you plan on heading up?

Gordo Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Going up to Mont Ste-Marie this Saturday with a buddy but I was thinking of hitting Mont Chilly on Feb. 11th for some possible fresh powder. Also of note the communities of Lac Ste-Marie and Denholm are now plowing and maintaining the Trans-Outaouais road that connects them. Before this road was only open in the summer. This is great for cottagers in the area as before you would have to back track and cross the Low Dam to get to Mont Ste-Marie. We have a cottage near the road on Lac Sam so now its only 20min to get skiing rather then a hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Sounds good. Let us know how it was. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 If you are into fresh powder Mont Chilly is the place to ski this weekend. 40cms of fresh awaits after a snowy week. Also of note the cafeteria will be open. 10-4pm Saturday-Sunday. Not sure if the hill will be open for Family day, call ahead. Photo from Facebook site.
