Up by 6, eat breakfast, ski all day, eat dinner, asleep by 8, repeat. Round 2 in the Chic Chocs, man I could get used to this! Instead of camping like last year, we opted for a cabin so that we could do more skiing and less worrying about how to stay warm and dry. We spread the word on how magical this place was and this year came back with numbers, cramming 12 people into an 8 person cabin. In reality it wasn't too bad considering it was just place to dry gear and lay down our heads at night. We weren't blessed with the blower powder that we found last year, but still a hell of an adventure and we found ourselves skiing steeper stuff than would have been possible with fresh snow. Just being out in these mountains was worth the trip and we made the most of the the conditions. All and all sick trip and can not wait for next season!
