Coming from you Johnny, I take it as a compliment... Now what do you have to say about this?

I never compliment anyone.

Hummm... I'm a bit confused here... What are you trying to prove exactly? The fact that the BC110s are great skis? (%@&!(*@^%!) Or is it the fact that you have to drive for 2 hours everytime you wanna find a decent snow cover in order to ski down hiking trails while I have access to several millions of acres of pure mountain wilderness right out of my back door?

Can't wait to ski at Malo's by the way...

I don't think this is quite true Johnny. A million acres is quite a big area. When I was in Sutton I'd guess the area you ski is a couple thousand at most. Also I wouldn't call it pure mountain wilderness. Seems to have quite a few trails and houses around - and being developed more and more.

Now if you were in Jasper... I might say your statement is true.

What you saw was the town surroundings... You didn't see the whole picture... There's several reserves all around that will never be touched...

I've looked at maps of the area though. In the entire Adirondacks there is only about 1.5 million acres of protected Wilderness. And the entire Adirondack park is about the size of Vermont (6 million acres).

The area bounded by Rt 55, Rt 10 and Rt 35 in Quebec is maybe about a million acres, and surely not Wilderness... I mean Bromont is included in there!

You guys have much more wilderness north of the St Lawrence.
