Mont Ste Marie - February 4th, 2017
Well I finally made it up to Mont Ste Marie. Last year I skied on the closing day and it was blast. Conditions this time were hard packed with a little dust on crust, not bad but we need some new snow. I really think Mont Ste Marie is your best bang for your buck, 1200ft vertical, only a hour from Ottawa, short or zero lineups, and high speed lifts. Also if you buy passes during the summer you can get lift tickets for like $30. Anyway it was a great day, myself and a buddy skied all day from about 9:30 still last chair. Everything was open with the exceptions of Crescendo (which we skied anyway), some sections of Toronade, and the glade run Sous-bois( which looked fine). The Dustin Cook run was busy with racing but we did get on it in the afternoon. Formidable and Betsy were fun steeps as aways, I just wish they had a better run out so you don't have to scrub your speed for the sharp left turn onto Carrousal. All in all a super fun day and great weather. Lets hope the mountain gets lots of snow next week!
