In the early 1980s Bill Koch found a place for early and late season snow, outside of Labrador City, and he helped develop an extensive trail system. As you can see from their Facebook page, they were skiing by Columbus Day, Pisten Bully grooming before November, and full winter conditions by our Election Day.
It is an 18 hour drive, which can be broken up half-way by a day or two hiking/skiing in the Chic-Chocs. Next fall here I come.
