November 10 to 14 were this year's dates for xcottawa.ca's annual early-snowtraining camp at Montmorency, about an hour northeast of Quebec City. As mentioned in my last article, Foret Montmorency (Montmorency Forest) might be considered eastern Canada's version of Silver Star or West Yellowstone. It has fairly reliableearly-season skiing, great trails and accommodationswhich are very conducive to training.
