Registration is open for the 2026 Chic-Chocs Backcountry Ski Trip!

Mad River Path's annual adventure in the Chic-Chocs is open for registration!
February 21-26, 2026

The Chic-Chocs, the furthest northeastern Appalachians, rise above the Gulf of St Lawrence forming a vast upland Plateau that receives three hundred 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 and fire-cooked meals at night. Expect powder, encounters with moose, and northern lights if we are lucky!
