606.0. "What is skiing like at St. Savier " by RDVAX::CONNOLLEY () Wed Aug 26 1992 11:31

My husband and I are going to be going to Mt. St. Sauvier in February.  Can 
anyone tell me what conditions are like.  We're both advanced skiiers and I
was wondering what the challenges might be and just general information on 
the area.

Thanks.

606.1St SauveurPOLAR::ROBINSONPTake this job and love it.Fri Aug 28 1992 23:1415
    
    Mt. St. Sauveur is a popular spot for both day and night skiing,
    located right beside the autoroute (117 ?) just a short blast north
    of Montreal. Nicely kept lodge, expensive beer.
    
    I learned to ski there many moons ago. It is not particularly
    challenging, but has *some* steep sections and moguls. It is basically
    a series of (3?) equally stepped hills with a nice view to the east,not
    much of a total vertical drop..relatively short runs.
    
    It is close to shopping and nightlife/restaurants. I've never stayed
    overnight though...
    
    Hope this helps, Pat
                               
606.2KAOFS::J_DESROSIERSLets procrastinate....tomorrowMon Aug 31 1992 10:487
    I don't ski downhill, but as previous note said, it is close to
    Montr�al and Saint Sauveur has many night spots and good restaurants. 
    If you like skiing more than after ski, go to Mont Tremblant (a little
    further north) or to Mont Saint Anne (near Qu�bec).
