Behold the mighty Chic Chocs.
Its the punch in of scenery that looks more like Norway than Quebec.
To our great surprise, the Ski The East crew happened to also be in town during our trip.
The food was outstanding, including the lunches they packed on the cat for us each day.
And then theres the terrain.
While the 12 runs there are a bit more mellow, they offer great skiing in well-maintained glades.
We excitedly clicked into our skis and dropped in.
Hoots and hollers echoed through the evergreens as we bounced and turned our way down to meet the cat.
Ski The East riders Andreya Zvonar and Zack Masi got particularly sendy the first day.
On our final afternoon, we took the cat over to Mont Porphyre for a sunset run.
The guys stayed grounded, at least long enough to find a few pow turns.

Sandy’s plane was canceled the first night.
The snow only got deeper and the views only got better as we approached treeline.
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Above treeline
Mont Lyall’s offerings
Spot the skier?
The following morning we set out for Mount Albert, a giant plateau with broad bowls lining its perimeter.
Seeing the scene developing so progressively gives me high hopes for the future of the region.
And Ill certainly be making the pilgrimage back there very, very soon.
