Gordo Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Yes Camp Fortune is closed for the season but there is still loads of snow on the hills even after the rainfest of the last couple days. Since I missed the last official weekend I figured I better get my fix. Taking my snowshoe skis which have a built in skin under foot I climbed Sparks on the Skyline line side. The main runs still have plenty of snow and even the north facing glades are skiable. I skinned to the top of Pineault then went down Paradis on the Meech side. A quarter of the way down I ducked into the new but unnamed glade that feeds down under the lift and onto North American. The trees were skiable and the snow was soft though there was loads of debris. I then climbed up North American back up to Sparks via the Meech Crossing. The final run was a quick blast down Sparks. Thanks for a great season and remember to buy your Fortune season pass before the end of the month. See you next year! Lots of streams in the woods. Sparks on the way up. North facing woods. South facing woods. Top of Pineault. Top of Meech. Paradis Entrance to the glade off Paradis. Under the Meech Lift. All done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Nice trip Gordo. Looks like you had the place to yourself Definitely, a fun way to end the season. And you are right, still lots of snow. Was it sticky or relatively easy to handle? Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Shane The groomed runs were a little firm, crusty and fast on the downhill. The snow in the woods though was very soft but not sticky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Props for touring up there at risk of a fine! I wonder if you can still ski down Edelweiss too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 @Ocean was I technically skiing or snowshoeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 @Gordo haha good question! I'm wondering if I should try and go today, I was hoping to make it to St-Sauveur but I'm in Ottawa with a few too many things to do today. And sadly the lifts will likely not be spinning tomorrow due to rain. Maybe also Saturday as they just moved Park Daze to Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
