Hey Everyone.

I wanted to know what hills are good around the Ottawa area. I know there are a few, but I am new to the area and I am not sure which ones have the best hours/park.

Also, I think Stowe and Tremblant are within a couple hours, but I am asking about everyday/weekend hills.

Thanks

I've never been to Edelweiss but I know some people who have and they say it's pretty sick, I think it's the best park around Ottawa. And I've seen some edits and it looks pretty fun

from best to worst for overall skiing quality not including park it's probably:


1- St Marie (park hasn't been good in recent years)
2- Camp Fortune (park is nothing special)
3- Calabogie (dunno much about their park)
4- Edelweiss (great park)
5- Mont Cascades (pretty good park)
6- Vorlage (laughable park)
7- Pakenham (do they have a park?)

Bogie is actually great for real skiing, some nice runs and good snow, its never busy either, the park is pretty non-existent though.

My order would personally be

St Marie
Calabogie
Cascades
Fortune
Pakenham
Vorlage

I cannot compare edelweiss in there but it would probably be just under fortune or just above from what I've heard. This order is also NON-park related.
Also, Calabogie's park will hopefully be looking up this season, I was hired on as park staff for the season. There have also been 2 new rails welded up already (long flat tube and tube Y rail) and more to come! Stay tuned for more info on the park as I get it.
