I went by Bois de Liesse to check the trails and even though they were tracked, they were quickly being filled with new snow. They told me that they will track the trails one more time this afternoon.

I just got back from Gai Luron – they have a FOOT of snow on the trees – it’s awesome!!!! I used blue extra, and it was perfect. I was the first one there this morning, as I didn’t realize they don’t open until 9am on weekdays – oops! – they let me go anyway 🙂 They will open the “boucles” A & B later today. Yipee!
Well it looks like some people got out on Boxing day with varying degrees of success. 9 club members were out on Beaconsfield Golf course at different times in the day. We certainly enjoyed the sunny weather in the morning , and conditions were very acceptable. Jacques T and Winnie N enjoyed Angrignon Park for a couple of hours whilst Christine BM did not have the same success at Les Cedres. “it started out ok but then hordes of walkers and horses have also been out!” Photos have been posted on the web site.

Hello Tom, Steven Ostroff here, I think Sung Hee and I might qualify for last skiers among Beavertails. We went to Morin Heights on Wednesday April 6, and just to make sure I skied the Triangle on Friday April 8. Red KR klister was the thing to use. I’m sure the golf course will soon not appreciate skiers on their grass in the next day or two as snow is getting pretty thin in those exposed areas.
The storm on Monday did not amount to much and the snow continues to disappear, although that has slowed down this week with the colder temperatures. Some centres still have some trails open but are no longer grooming them. Conditions vary between icy and wet.
So who will be the last skier of the season? Right now, Mickey and Sharon are the leading contenders. But at the party, Steve Ostroff confidently declared that he would ski at least three more times at Morin Heights this year. So the competition for who Continue reading “Who Will Be the Last Skier?”
