QC Ski Trip - Le Massif

Tuesday morning started a little slow. We were both tired after the first day at Mont Ste-Anne. So, we left the hotel a little late, and the drive to Le massif was a little longer than expected. Light snow falling for most of the drive - I bet that the scenery would have been amazing with better light.

We arrived at the mountain around 1015, and were skiing before 1100. It was covered with really nice snow. We both commented that it was the best snow we had seen all winter. The mountain is advertised as having four tows - but one of those is just a short t-bar at the summit between two of the chairs. The chair on the west end was serving all blacks, and neither of us was up for that, so we skied the other two chairs.

We had a really great time. Some really great long blues and even some greens that were OK to finish the run on, or coast down on for a change of pace, or a bit of a break. All in all, just a great day. I think we will hit that mountain again before the end of the week.

After we got back to the hotel, we rested up a bit, and then went downtown to the old city for awhile. Very pretty. It is nearly 30 years since I was in QC, and I enjoyed wandering around - although the drive in was a PIA - we were not really sure where we were going, and for sure a tough city to drive in if you do not know where you are going. We had a great dinner at a little pub where we could watch the Olympics while we ate, so that was nice as well.

Wednesday morning, we are both stiff. So, we are going to rest this morning, and then head to Stoneham to get there for noon - and ski a half day!
