unitednihilists Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 A quick review if anyone is heading out. Pakenham conditions were incredible on Tuesday morning. Unfortunately it was Pakenham, so not enough pitch or elevations, but well groomed and perfect edging snow pack. They only have Exhibition open and a few small runs off of it, I expect Slalom will be open shortly. For those of you who don't know, Slalom and exhibition are the two runs on the far left if you are looking at the hill from the bottom. Spent all day a Calabogie today (Wednesday), most everything to the right (looking at the hill from the bottom) of the Tigers face is open, however some runs are narrow and have patches of dirt nuggets. However, O'Brians Fancy and Barretts Chutes are open and in good condition. Both had small sections that had dirt nuggets or ice patches but I had no problem avoiding them. We spent most of the day on those two runs. A pretty solid day considering conditions. Both places had guns and groomers running all day, but it will be interesting to see what happens in the next couple days.

Tabatha Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hey Ottawa peeps! Looks like the snow fairies are finally remembering us here. To celebrate a few of us are planning on playing hookie on Thursday and heading to Tremblant. That is right; early season road trip. Aim is to be at the North Side parking lot around 9am (trying to confirm lift opening times ...) Let us know if you want to meet us there Think snow!

slabber Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Haven't bought a pass this year (yet?). Where did everyone buy, if there was a consensus? Likely looking at a couple evening outings, depending on work/family and what not. cheers Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabatha Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Passes - I bought one at Cascade; but I am out of town until March and plan on using it during the day. I believe Ryan bought one for Edelweiss so that might be a better bet, but in general no one has committed to a local hilloc! Hope that helps T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Québec man Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi! Just in case....if you feeling like it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKarve Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Finally! Was at Mont Ste Marie Wednesday and the condition were perfect. Highly recommend. Was at Tremblant last week too. Conditions good also....except versant soleil....death ice chunks. Also was hoping to get out with some other carvers this season. Proposing a weekday Tremblant trip March 8th, 9th, or 10th. Any takers? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
