Shane Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 This topic is for those wanting to announce where they are heading next to ski or snowboard. Perhaps others may be heading to the same mountain, and you may find a buddy to share the slopes. Link to comment
Shane Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'm planning on visiting Camp Fortune Saturday in the morning. Other than 2-3 trails the mountain is fully open. It'll be my first time this season on Skyline. Link to comment
Gordo Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I was up at Fortune on Wednesday and Thursday nights. The conditions were great. I suspect it's a little more hard packed now but there is a great base. All the runs on Skyline are open. Going to Mont Ste Marie Sunday. Link to comment
Shane Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Conditions were great on the weekend. Still going strong and not letting up. I was reading elsewhere that the situation in the Eastern Townships was a little harder, some saying the roads towards Orford along the highway showed a serious lack of snow. But once at the mountain luckily the snow was there. Amazing. To me the Ottawa-Gatineau region used to get less snow than the Townships unless I'm remembering incorrectly. Eager to hit the slopes next Sunday. Perhaps a visit out to the Montreal region for skiing is in order. Link to comment
Gordo Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Was up at Camp Fortune last night. The conditions are still very good, soft snow but no slush. Only upper Canadian was a bit a icy, everything else was soft but fast. Great skiing in warm temperatures. Link to comment
Shane Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Good to know. I'm going to head up to Mont Cascades for some night skiing Saturday night. Looking forward to it. Link to comment
Gordo Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 6cm fell at Camp Fortune overnight. Going up for some night skiiing tonight. Big storm arriving Sunday Afternoon. I may have to take a sick day Monday and ski Tremblant or Mont Ste Marie. Link to comment
Shane Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Sounds good Locknar. Today I'll be at Vorlage. Just arrived and the slopes look really good. Time to get my boots on Link to comment
Gordo Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Nice The conditions were pretty good at Camp Fortune. The new snow really helped. Waiting for the big snow storm now! Link to comment
Paul Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 My next ski outing may well possibly be to Whaleback in Enfield, NH this coming Sunday. First time there. Been by it a few times in the summer. Time to explore. If the trip happens, I will post a report for us. Link to comment
Gordo Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Well its a another Powder day here in the Ottawa/Gatineau region... pushing 15cms and snowing hard right now. Camp Fortune night skiing tonight! Paul 1 Link to comment
Paul Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Locknar, looking forward to some photos if you get any tonight. Have a great evening! Link to comment
Gordo Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Its been a week without Skiing! what a crazy melt down Ottawa went from almost 80cm of snow pack to 15cm. Anyway winter is kinda back and I'm going up to Mont Ste-Marie Friday and Calabogie Sunday. Will report... thinking conditions will be dust on crust but will see. Link to comment
Shane Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Sounds good. I may visit Camp Fortune on Saturday or Sunday. To be determined. Keep us posted. Eager to see how things are on the slopes. Link to comment
Paul Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Owl's Head for me tomorrow. Not sure where on Sunday. Shane 1 Link to comment
Jake Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Totally insane. In my neighbourhood we went from 3 feet of snow and huge snow banks everywhere, to maybe 10 cm with areas of bare grass. This almost reminds me of the week 4-5 years ago in March when it was +20 every day. I'll be at Mont Blanc tomorrow, I'm not entirely sure what to expect. I'm not worried about coverage because there was TONS of snow there before, but I'm expecting very firm snow and lots of ice as the day progresses. It will be cold as well which doesn't help things, but at least it will be sunny. Link to comment
Gordo Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Finally some new snow! Night skiing Fortune tonight then Edelweiss Wednesday. Shane 1 Link to comment
Shane Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Heading to Calabogie Peaks tomorrow, especially to ski the Black Donald trail. And of course to enjoy the new snow! Link to comment
Gordo Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just got back from five days skiing in Utah and now I'm rewarded with 8cm and counting in the Ottawa area. Better get the skis out of the bag. Going somewhere this weekend. Link to comment
Gordo Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Skied Snowbird, Alta and Solitude. Snow, sun and fun times at 11,000ft. But Gatieau skiing is looking good for this weekend with 19cm so far! What a great way to start spring. Shane and Paul 2 Link to comment
