Gordo Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Looks like Mont Chilly may be opening soon. From the Chilly facebook page: "Work is underway to get the slopes ready for the ski season. Stay tuned for updates on opening day in 2018! #SkiMontChilly" Link to comment
Shane Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Great news. Especially since they rely only on natural snow. Hopefully they can open in early January. I think they have opened end of February the past couple years so perhaps the favorable weather will give them a big boost. Link to comment
Gordo Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 There is a possible chance that Mont Chilly may open on Saturday. Call ahead if planning a trip. Link to comment
Shane Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Mont Chilly announced they will be open today (Sunday) from 12-4pm. Link to comment
Gordo Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Very good, I was hoping they were going to open soon. Will have to go next time there is some serious snow during the week. Chilly Powder. Link to comment
Shane Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Mont Chilly announced they will be open on Monday (Family Day). Link to comment
Gordo Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Nice! I would have gone today but I work in Québec which has no family day. Link to comment
Gordo Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Mont Chilly lives. It’s open this weekend! March 3-4th. Link to comment
Ocean Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I had never heard of this place til I joined this board, will have to check it!! Link to comment
Shane Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hey Ocean, it is quite the nice mountain, very retro and authentic. We often say that Sutton has kept the old style of skiing alive, but Chilly definitely takes the cake. No snow making, minimal grooming, one diesel powered t-bar and a small chalet that serves burgers and hotdogs. Can't go wrong. Just have to time it right to be able to go on one of the very very few days they are open. Link to comment
Shane Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just announced, Mont Chilly will be open this Friday until Sunday. The kitchen will be closed so bring a lunch. Great news! Link to comment
Gordo Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Chilly will be open Friday March 9th to Sunday March 11th. 10 - 4pm. Hahah we posted at the same time. I may go Sunday. Link to comment
Ocean Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 hah sounds cool. I actually have yet to go to Sutton as well. Chilly, if I'm in the area, is easy enough for me to stay at my cousin's in Norway Bay en route there and make a weekend of it. t-bar geez... remember pomalifts? Does anyone still have one of those? I haven't seen one in years... Link to comment
Paul Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 There are still a few of them around. Mont Bellevue still has one. They actually had 2 up to when they installed the Quad chair a couple of seasons ago. A few places in the Gaspé have some too. Can’t remember exactly which hills but they are still around. The Poma at Bellevue is actually a touch faster that riding the fixed grip Quad there. If you want to max out your laps, ride the Poma! Link to comment
Shane Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Mont Ste Marie also have a Poma lift, although it isn't detachable like the one at Bellevue. It's used on the beginner slope between Vanier and Cheval Blanc mountains. Link to comment
Gordo Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Mont Chilly will be open March 15th for Ontario March Break. More snow is in the forecast, could be a powder day. Link to comment
Gordo Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Mont Chilly will be open March 24th/25th, it may be the last this season. From their Facebook site: "Hey bump riders and powder hounds Chilly will be open this weekend March 24th/25th 2018. The weather is looking great maybe some epic spring skiing. A little bit of heat will soften number 4 for some solid bumps. All I ask is don't poach my lines. Don't miss out because the following week isn't lookin the best for the natural hills . Cheers" Link to comment
Gordo Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Mont Chilly will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week. March 30-April 1st. I skied Chilly last year on April 1st and the coverage was great, I’m curious what it’s like now. Shane 1 Link to comment
