Just when we thought that this trip couldn’t get better, the skies cleared for a real off-the-beaten-track gem in the Saguenay Fjord region: Mont Edouard.
It has a nice, sustained pitch, lots of glades, and the best snow of the week. Paydirt.
Proposed ORDA Budget Cuts 2010
Latest from NCPR may be good news for Gore and Whiteface:
Article from the Adirondack Daily Enterprise:
“ORDA planning for $1M less than it expected”
LAKE PLACID – The Olympic Regional Development Authority anticipates receiving $1 million less than expected in the 2010-11 fiscal year.

ORDA may receive $5.7 million instead of an expected $6.7 million from the state.
Mont Grand-Fonds, QC: 3/24/10
Hard to believe our amazing timing on this Quebec visit: a second powder day after two sunny spring days. Mont Grand-Fonds is a 1,300-vert hill that’s similar in size and layout to Massif du Sud.
When we arrived this morning to an empty parking lot, they were reporting 18 inches over the past 24 hours and it continued snowing lightly all day.
Juliet’s legs are dead and wasn’t able to handle the knee-deep snow without her fat skis, so after I lapped a bunch of untracked runs, we spent the rest of the day skiing the softest groomers of the season.
How great is it to go on a destination trip at the end of March — planned several weeks in advance — and nail conditions like this?
