Schedule
Meet at Accueil Shannahan at 8:30 am / Explanation of the day's activities and equipment check. Departure for the ski area at 9:30 am and return to the reception area by 4:00 pm. The group will cover an average of 10 to 12 km for 3 to 6 runs, depending on experience and fitness.
Prerequisites
- At least a good level of alpine skiing experience
- Be in good physical condition (able to cover a dozen kilometers in powder snow, with ascents and descents).
- Previous experience with climbing skins is an asset (Please note that the climbs are done with skins only. Snowshoes are not suitable for the type of outings we offer. One person on snowshoes would certainly slow down the group's progress).
- Must be at least 16 years of age and over and accompanied by an adult
Minimum 3 participants
In the event of less than 3 participants, the ski activity will be cancelled and reimbursed. We will contact you the day before departure at the latest. Two people can pay the 3-person fee to go out together.
The package includes

- Experienced guide** with maximum guide-client ratio of 1:7 (minimum 3 participants to open an outing)
In case of bad weather:
The guide will decide whether or not to carry out the outing and will contact participants to advise them of any changes to the schedule. In the event of cancellation, a credit will be issued for a later reservation or a refund will be made.
**Our guide has extensive knowledge of the territory, is first-aid certified and will carry a radio transmitter, cell phone, first-aid and survival kit, repair kit and extra clothing.
