So far this year our skiing has been limited to going to two places, Cap St Jacques (CSJ) and the P’tit Train du Nord (PTdN). The weekend of Dec 6-7 we skied two days at PTdN and then on Dec 13-14 we skied both days at CSJ. This past weekend it was a tough call. We decided to make the official destination CSJ for Sat and PTdN for Sun.
Last Sat there were 12 of us at 10 am to go skiing. it was sunny and -7 C. The trails had been groomed that morning. The conditions were not as good as the previous weekend, but the consensus was they were still pretty good! We had a good ski of about 10 km (+/- 2 km). A couple of other members arrived late and reported they enjoyed a good outing on foot on the walking trails. Another 2 members arrived to ski as we were leaving, so there were 16 BTers that I know of at CSJ on Sat.
The official destination for Sun was the PTdN because we felt sure their conditions would be even better. And we were right. It was -12 C and snowing lightly on the freshly groomed 
trails at 10 am. The 8 of us who were there all set out north from Mont Rolland. During our ski, the sun came out for a spell, making for an even lovelier setting. We all skied at least 10 km, including Tuuli, who was skiing for the first time in years! It was a great day at the PTdN. Meanwhile, it turned out that 12 members decided to go for a quicker and shorter at CSJ that morning. So we had at least 20 BTers out skiing on Sun!
All in all, it was a third December weekend in a row of great skiing. A great start to our ski season!
