Default Seeking Some Info on Camp Mercier

I'm trying to find out if Camp Mecier still has dormitory style
lodging in the attic of the main ski building. (Or...if that's not
possible to find out, a contact phone number for Camp Mercier itself
(I already have the number for the reservation service) would be a
big
help.)

Thanks in advance,


Jon

Default Seeking Some Info on Camp Mercier

I just saw your second message. I doubt the Camp Mercier itself is open
this time of the year.
Try e-mailing SEPAQ or checking the web site. Getting the SEPAQ phone
line is sometime ok sometimes hell. I once was the 632nd person waiting.
SEPAQ manage most parks, skiing, hiking, lodging rental, hunting, fishing,
etc. That is a lot.

The dorm in the attic has no bed. You set your sleeping bag on the
floor.

SEPAQ closed the attic two-three years ago (probably because it was
too cheap and a too good solution for the dedicated skier). Since
then, SEPAQ has built some more confortable (and expensive) camps
close to the Camp Mercier ski trails; reservations must be made
through the SEPAQ (see www.sepaq.com as you know).

May I suggest you a more a slightly more interesting alternative:
Foret Montmorency (www.fm.ulaval.ca), about 15 km farther in the
Laurentides Reserve, with accomodation at "Le Pavillon" at an
affordable price (~75 $CDN including bedroom (without sheets, double
occupation) and 3 gorgeous meals), and the certainty to ski on snow
(natural or artificial).

It is THE ski site for starting skiing early in Eastern N. America.
The Quebec X-C Association (www.amsfski.com) is holding its annual
training camp on snow in Dec 8-12 this year (20th camp anniversary).

It's a shame that the whole culture and comraderie of cheaply crashing
in a ski dorm seems to be going away...

Is "La Pavillon" the building that is actually a college dormitory
(i.e., very institutional in feel), or is this a new option?

Sounds like a possibility...
