After yesterday’s sunny blue skies and warm temps, there couldn’t have been a bigger market correction. It started nuking early this morning accompanied by 25 mph winds and this kept up the entire day. Le Massif’s well-known views were nowhere to be found; today was all about storm skiing.
We met up with guide Denis Robichaud, who had us laughing the whole day while doing 2,500-vert laps on Le Massif’s three high-speed quads.
After a fun, but occasionally scratchy outing at Massif du Sud on Sunday, we headed to that ski area’s polar opposite: Mont Sainte-Anne. We were set up with Marc, a really talented mountain guide who showed us why MSA is considered Quebec’s go-to spring-skiing area.
On a sunny day like today, with three faces (north, south, west), there’s no excuse for getting stuck on snow that’s too hard or too soft. And with almost unlimited visibility, the views of the St. Lawrence River and the Island of Orleans were beautiful.
