Join Mad River Path on a hut-to-hut backcountry ski trip in a winter paradise in the Chic Choc moutains of Quebec.
about the trip
The Chic-Chocs, the furthest northeastern Appalachians, rise above the Gulf of St Lawrence forming a vast upland plateau that receives 300 inches of snow each year, thanks to a dramatic compilation of climactic factors. Parc National de la Gaspesie offers a system of cozy huts that allows us to backcountry ski into the depths of this enchanted northern wilderness while enjoying the warmth of a wood stove, fire-cooked meals, and the rustic comfort of candlelit cabins, snugged against the mountains. Mount Logan, at 1150 meters, is an outstanding backcountry skiing objective, offering above-the-tree-line terrain for all levels with minimal avalanche risk. Expect powder, encounters with moose, and northern lights if we are lucky!
