Had an exceptional week at the Madeline Mines Hut with the Canadian mags MTLRipper and The Rudeness, as well as some non mag buddies. If you don't know, this spot is on the far eastern portion of the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec and holds radical terrain. We nailed the weather luckily which is tough when you have to book a year in advance. A string of stable cold snow blue bird days, followed by a few days of storm skiing. Couldn't be more stoked on what we are able to get done while leaving plenty for future trips, its booked again for next year.
First day was a 15km skin in to the hut
But we managed a few laps in the bowls right out the back door
Always amazed how relaxed the summit dwelling caribou are up there around people
Checking some of the terrain fore next few days
Next day the Vermont crew set out to hit a face we had been eyeing on the way in
Met back up with the canadians for some afternoon laps that didn't disappoint
After a night of enjoying several different craft kegs that the canadians brought in we set out to put some tracks in this zone
Long climb for an zesty ski
The top was interesting conditions
Dropping in
Played some mini golf
Then got into a nice protected area in the same zone
