Smokey

Mikey called me Friday morning talking about Jamie Lynn's method and thinking about a pow mission to Cape Smokey, Cape Breton. That's all it took and by Saturday the text messages started...here's the run down courtesy of Mikey.

Ski Cape Smokey in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. By far the best ski area in NS. Closed by the NS government a few years ago, but volunteers have decided to open it this year on weekends. $10 lift tickets. Only a 4.5 hour drive from Halifax.Made a last minute call on Friday to drive up on Saturday morning as they had received 2.5 feet of snow this past week.

With only the Poma lift going 500vert feet you could hike the remaining 500vertical and ride the entire mountain. Each run was untracked top to bottom as most people opted to just ride the Poma accessed runs.

You can ride powder anywhere if you commit to it.
