Marc commented on the blog post Le Massif Launches East Coast’s First Heli-Skiing 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Dave,
That’s great news, thanks for passing it along.
Just to avoid any confusion, I think this is offered at Le Massif du Sud (http://massifdusud.net/?lang=en) directly east of Quebec City, and not at Le Massif (http://www.lemassif.com/en/montagne) which is North-East of Quebec City.
Is that your understanding also?

We were there on Sunday morning and it was surprising how the snow/ice conditions changed in the space of a couple of hours. Sliding in the slush was a good option on the way down!

Let’s hope the trails hold up well to heavy use and rain/mud as well, they look a bit ”soft”.

Conditions were packed all the way to Healey, slight covering of fresh snow on the way back.
