Downhill runs. Yeah baby!
The winter of 2007/2008 has seen some spectacular snow falls in the greater Ottawa ski region, and it may turn out to have been the longest ski season ever!
Here's information on the dowhill ski facilities within a reasonable (day trip) driving distance from Ottawa's Parliament Hill.
They are listed in alphabetical order, and the distance from Ottawa's downtown (Parliament Hill) is shown for each.
Good skiing, eh?? :-)
Edelweiss
Edelweiss is approximately 34 kilometers (21 miles) from Parliament Hill.
Not relying soleley on natures snow bountry, Edelweiss offers slopes groomed with sophisticated snow making machinery.
Boasting slopes that offer the downhill skier "very easy" to "extremely difficult" skill testing, getting to the top of these runs is easy with a variety of lifts providing chairs to over 7,000 skiers per hour.
One of their ski trails offers over 4,900' (1.5 km) of drop.
Fourteen of their eighteen trails are lit for night skiing.
Not interested in the boards (ski or snow)? What about tubing? Edelweiss offers 8 tube runs, and they are lit for night tubing.
The lodge offers tired and hungry skiers hot food, hot and cold drinks, a first aid station, equipment repair, and for the newbie, a ski school.
From the Ottawa / Hull area, Edelweiss can be reached by driving North on Highway 5 from Hull to Highway 105 to Wakefield, then east on Highway 366 to Edelweiss.
