Versant nature, La Réserve, february 11th 2017

Tuesday, it rained pretty much everywhere on the earth (read within a 3 hours drive from Montreal). From Vermont to Maine passing by the Laurentians nothing escaped the rain. Just below Mont Tremblant, La Reserve in Saint-Donat caught some mixed precipitations too. I wanted to ski so did my friend Luc.

We headed to La Reserve to ski their versant Nature, a backcountry playground offered free of charge to the skiers. If you are lazy a chair can take you to the top for 10$ canadian (probably 2-3$ amercain) instead of taking thei extremely long skin track to get to the backside of the mountain. Conditions were not optimal but it could have been worst. It is forecasting 30+ cm of fresh pow tonight. I will be on my ski again tomorrow!!!

Here the video of the day

No, I loved the video. I should have replied however suffering from snow envy, I have a secondary terrain envy thing going on also.
Great video, great skiing

LOL all the envies you have. I can sympathize. Time to pack up the rugrats, methinks.
