The Mt-Blanc, Mt-Craggy and Mt-Pointu sector of the Chics-Chocs is undeniably an extraordinary backcountry skiing area that offers multiple itineraries over many different slopes that will satisfy both novice and expert skiers and snowboarders.  The terrain is mainly mature forests with natural gullies where the space between trees is often optimal for fluent riding and snow accumulation.  This type of terrain which is perfectly adapted to backcountry skiing is unique in Eastern North America.

Mt-Craggy provides steep, sensationnal glade runs directly above camp.  Most famous lines are the Colonel, the Twins, Little Bru and the S Fields. However in between these lines… lay more unknown lines.

The diversity of this ski area is such that a typical 4 day ski trip will provide different objectives each day without ever skiing the same line twice.  In fact, Vertigo’s team has been exploring these mountains since 2005 and has been naming new runs every year.  The presence of trees on most steep slopes contributes to reduce avalanche risk.
