WE LIKE
- Often called the best slopes in Eastern Canada - we'd agree!
- Great snow record throughout the season - espcially at the top of the mountain
- No ski lift queues - even at busy holiday times
|
WE DON'T LIKE
- The weather can get really really cold - especially with the biting wind
- No bowls for powder hounds - but there is lots of snow here!
- Only 4 lifts serving all the runs - however very few queues or skiers/boarders on the pistes
