The Chic-Chocs, the furthest northeastern Appalachians, rise above the Gulf of St Lawrence forming a vast upland Plateau that receives three hundred inches of snow each year, thanks to a dramatic compilation of climactic factors. Parc National de la Gaspesie offers a network of cozy huts that allows us to backcountry ski into the depths of this enchanted northern wilderness while enjoying the warmth of a wood stove, fire-cooked meals, and the rustic comfort of candlelit cabins, snuggled against the mountains.  Expect powder, encounters with moose, and northern lights if we are lucky!
