Campeurs Ste Agathe Jan 18 2026
Jeffrey L report from the outing:
7 skiers came out to enjoy soft fresh snow and moderate temperatures that made for ideal ski conditions. Both wax and skin skis worked well. Great trails through the woods with lots of little ups and downs as well as a few big climbs and thrilling downhills.
Karen’s snowshoe group of 7 plus one canine companion took advantage of Goldilocks perfect conditions and enjoyed the snow-draped enchanted forest at Parc Regional Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts on Sunday.
Thanks to Debbie and Sylvie for taking turns leading the way through our snowiest winter wonderland yet.
Thank you to the many photo contributors. See Flicker.

The BTNSC Holiday Party was held on Sunday, December 14 at La Maison Verte. It was a great success with 49 BTers in attendance. And this year, many of us had already been skiing!

Gai Luron 2025 12 14
Dennis M report from Gai Luron.
We enjoyed another beautiful day of early season skiing and snowshoeing on Sunday. This week we were at Gai Luron where the ski trails are always well groomed and the snowshoe trails are scenic and challenging. We’ll definitely return to Gai Luron again at some point this season.

Ste Agathe 2025 12 07
Dennis M report’
Conditions were great for our first club ski outing of the season. There were 7 skiers and 5 snowshoers who enjoyed beautiful mid season conditions with lots of powder snow. With the very light winds, the temperature was not a factor at all. With more snow in the forecast mid week, we should have even more ski centers to choose from in the near future.
Gai Luron 2025 03 09
We were 8 skiers and 6 snowshoers enjoying the beautiful conditions and mild temperatures at Gai Luron. A bit of early morning snow slowed down the morning drive, but made the ski conditions even better. Six winter hikers on crampons enjoyed the dusting of fresh snow on the rolling forest trails. With a forecast temperature of +15C next Sunday, it’s looks like the season is winding down. Nonetheless, it’s been a very enjoyable ski and snowshoe season.
Mont St Bruno 2025 03 02
It was a balmy -18C at 10 am when we headed out on the beautifully groomed trails of Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno. With the warm sunshine and lots of climbing we were all able to keep warm. It’s nice to have such a great ski center this close to Montreal.
Esterel 2025 02 23
It was the our first visit to Ski De Fond Estérel since 2014. With all the recent snowfalls and the nice temperatures, we all enjoyed the beautiful ski and snowshoe trails. It’s a small ski center compared to others we visit but still a very enjoyable center to add to our repetoire. Five happy snowshoers marvelled at all the evergreens coated with snow on the winding forest trail (Erabliere) at l’Estérel, which wins the prize for prettiest trail this season. Thanks to Debbie for tipping us off to this lovely park, complete with cute warming huts and bird feeders. And thanks to all our photographers (Ann, Erwin, Maureen, Tom V & Dennis ) for taking lots of scenic shots along the way. (Notes by Dennis and Karen)
Parc des campeurs 2025 02 15
There were 7 skiers and 6 snowshoers at Parc des Campeurs yesterday to enjoy the beautiful powder snow conditions. Two new members joined us, Martin & Katherine. With so much snow lately, all the trails are now open and in terrific shape. Six happy snowshoers enjoyed exploring the rolling wooded terrain blanketed with fresh snow. We moved the outing to Saturday to avoid Sunday’s winter storm.
Duchesnay 2025 02 09
Close to 30 Beaver Tail members enjoyed another beautiful weekend at Station touristique Duchesnay. The conditions were ideal for both skiing and snowshoeing, with ample powder snow on the ground. It was so nice to be able walk from the hotel to the ski trails in just a few minutes. Thanks again to Cheryl for making it all possible.
Oka 2025 02 02
There were 5 skiers and 7 snowshoers at Parc national d’Oka. It was a chilly morning but we were all appropriately dressed to handle the cold weather. The skiing was quite enjoyable, even though they don’t have the powder conditions you find up north. Due to compacted snow, the snowshoers were on cleats for a climb along the forested path up the Calvaire trail. Everyone stayed afterwards to enjoy lunch in the chalet.
Far Hills 2025 01 26
Ski notes by Dennis: It was a great day of skiing and snowshoeing today at Far Hills in Val Morin. There were ~ 20 skiers and 5 snowshoers who enjoyed the beautiful powder snow conditions. We even got to ski & snowshoe for free. Thanks to Hélène for advising us about a program with the Regional parks of Quebec. https://app.endorphine.ca/…/4b30beed-4611-42b5-8aa5…
Morin Heights 2024 12 08
Ski notes and photos by Dennis: There were 9 skiers and 5 snowshoers in Morin-Heights for the first outing of the ski season. They received 15cm of snow overnight for a total of 40cm on the ground. It was a very enjoyable ski and snowshoe, and most of us went to Mickey’s Cafe for lunch afterwards.
Snowshoe notes by Karen, photo by Erwin: Five eager snowshoers launched our new season with a 5.5-km trek through the gently rolling hillside of Basler Park overlooking the Aerobic Corridor. Conditions were perfect with lots of fresh snow (15 cm overnight) blanketing the trees and rocks, making for a winter wonderland. Thanks to the entire group for sharing leadership duties and taking lots of great photos along the way!

Mount Royal 2024 11 24
Dennis M notes from the walk.
It was a beautiful morning for walking on Mont Royal and it was great to have such a nice turnout. We were 28 walkers and one dog, with most of us doing an 8k walk. Many of us went upstairs to the Beaver Lake restaurant after the hike.
More Photos on Flickr and Photos page, check it out.
Mont Rigaud 2024 11 17
25 walkers and Luna started out on the escapade trail. 20 finished it with 14 km. The trail was in great condition. The climb to the lookout was a bit harder than I remembered but we all got up to see a cloudy but nice view.
