mhuddy_22 Member Nov 25, 2014 #1 Wanting to do some touring in Quebec this year. I have a couple of questions to ask. 1. To get to the Chic Chocs where is the closest place to fly in to? Also how far would it be? 2. Any good guides that I should contact? 3. Where else should I check out?

corona Active member Nov 25, 2014 #2 Quebec City is probably the best bet to fly into. 4-5 hour drive from there. Also the north shore past Massif apparently has some sick backcountry with tons of snow. and don't be fooled by it being east coast, bring avy gear.

corona Active member Nov 25, 2014 #5 Just asked and apparently the place to check out is the Mont Valin area on the north shore.
Heart Active member Nov 25, 2014 #6 I'm not sure if this is remotely legal, but the waterfall outside of Quebec city has this open face right next to it: I visited in the summer and all I could think about was how awesome it would be to hit on skis.

P perryhunter Member Nov 25, 2014 #7 Sorry, but I am not that familiar with Quebec. The only place that I'd been to is here, mostly on my ski vacation trip.
