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 |

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). R |

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 (seewww.sepaq.comas you know). It's a shame that the whole culture and comraderie of cheaply crashing in a ski dorm seems to be going away... 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). Is "La Pavillon" the building that is actually a college dormitory (i.e., very institutional in feel), or is this a new option? 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 Sounds like a possibility... Jon |
