Wednesday Walk (Ski) challenge : Stoneham (Québec)
For the last time this winter, I'm taking you for this Wednesday Walk or rather Wednesday Ski (I promise it's the last one 😀) to the ski resort of Stoneham, just outside Quebec City. Snow is becoming scarce in early April, although 10 cm are expected to fall tonight 😤. Last weekend, snow was rather scarce off the ski slopes, and even some slopes were already closed.
Pour la dernière fois de l'hiver, je vous amène pour ce Wednesday Walk ou plutôt Wednesday Ski dans la station de Stoneham, tout près de la ville de Québec. La neige commence à se faire rare en ce début d'avril bien que 10 cm de neige doivent tomber cette nuit 😤. Le weekend dernier, la neige était plutôt rare en dehors des pistes de ski et même sur les pistes, plusieurs étaient déjà fermées.
Stoneham is a family resort big enough for Quebec, with 3 mountains and plenty of trails in the woods to ski between the trees. In this photo, that's the reception area with ticket office, restaurant and bar. But what I find most beautiful is the tall, magnificent tree in front. Impressive...
Stoneham est une station familiale assez grande pour le Québec composée de 3 montagnes avec plein de sous-bois pour skier entre les arbres. Sur cette photo, c'est l'accueil avec la billetterie, un restaurant et un bar. Mais ce que je trouve le plus beau, c'est ce grand arbre qui se trouve devant, magnifique.
The station is located in the village of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, a 30-minute drive north of Quebec City.

We're going to visit the Stoneham resort, starting with the reception desk and ticket office, nothing exceptional. On the other hand, the poster presenting the Super Splash on April 6 is really beautiful with its typography and color scheme. I've never taken part in this type of event: trying to slide across a 36-meter lake on skis without falling into the water. Have you ever achieved this challenge?
Nous allons visiter la station Stoneham en commençant par l'accueil avec sa billetterie, rien d'exceptionnel. Par contre, l'affiche présentant le Super Splash du 6 avril est vraiment belle avec cette typographie et palette de couleurs. Je n'ai jamais participé à ce type d'événement : essayer de glisser sur un lac de 36 mètres en ski sans tomber dans l'eau. Avez-vous déjà réalisé cet exploit ?
In front of the ticket office, there's an icy pool despite the beautiful sunshine, it doesn't make you want to go swimming 😀. You can see the second mountain in the background, and completely to the right, the third. There are a few slopes to spend a good day skiing without doing the same thing over and over again.
Devant la billetterie, il y a une piscine glacée malgré le beau soleil, cela ne donne pas envie d'aller se baigner 😀. On voit au fond la deuxième montagne et complétement sur la droite, la troisième. Il y a quelques pistes pour passer une bonne journée de ski sans faire toujours les mêmes.
To reach the slopes and one of the chairlifts that will take us to the top of the mountain, we have to cross a small stream to access the ski slopes. Charming little dam. / FR : Pour accéder aux pistes et rejoindre un des télésièges qui va nous mener en haut de la montagne, nous devons traverser un petit ruisseau pour accéder aux pistes de ski. Charmant avec ce petit barrage.
A snowcat was waiting down the slopes. I'd love to drive one but not end up in the stretcher behind* 😀. None of that happened to me over that Easter weekend. / FR : Une chenillette attendait en bas. J'aimerais bien en conduire une mais pas me retrouver dans la civière derrière 😀. Rien de tout cela m'est arrivé pendant cette fin de semaine de Pâques.*
Here we are at the summit, admiring the scenery and the snow-covered forest as far as the eye can see. Ready for the first ride... / FR : Nous voilà arrivé au sommet à admirer le paysage avec cette forêt enneigée à perte de vue. Prêt pour la première descente...
And what do I see in the middle of the runway? A mural, StreetArt really is everywhere. The work is very nice with these colorful characters happy to be on an open-air ski slope. I have no idea who did it, despite the Salut Bernard at top right and the tag with Allo Bruno on the yellow character's jacket.
Et que vois-je au milieu de la piste ? Une murale, le StreetArt est vraiment partout. L'œuvre est très sympathique avec ces personnages colorés et heureux d'être sur une piste de ski en plein air. Aucune idée quel est l'artiste qui l'a réalisé malgré le Salut Bernard en haut à droite et le tag avec Allo Bruno sur la veste du personnage jaune.
I'm discovering this resort as it's the first time I've been there. Snow is scarce as you can see from the photo 🔼 but there are some interesting runs in the woods that cross streams with clear water. This resort is perfect for family skiing.
Je découvre cette station comme c'est la première fois que j'y vais. La neige se fait rare comme vous pouvez le constater sur la photo 🔼 mais il y a des pistes intéressantes dans les bois qui traversent des ruisseaux. Cette station est parfaite pour faire du ski en famille.
It's time to head back down to the resort to take advantage of the village's attractions, including a microbrewery La Souche that I'll be introducing you to soon. / FR : C'est le temps de redescendre vers la station pour profiter des attraits du village dont une microbrasserie La Souche que je vais vous présenter bientôt 😀.
I hope you enjoyed this visit to Stoneham station, it was a very pleasant long weekend. Happy Wednesday Walk... / FR : J'espère que vous avez apprécié cette visite de la station Stoneham, cela fut un long weekend très agréable. Bon Wednesday Walk...

Hope it wasn’t to much new snow during the night.
So cool to see the pool all frozen over hahaha 🤣
Yeah! You found a mural there, what a surprise. It is so happy and colourful.
I shared some snowy photos from my surroundings and some adventures 😉 in the forest up the mountain. I think we will have all of april still snow. In my garden it is 2 meters high. ☃️
Have a great thursday 👋🏻

It snowed well last night and continues to do so:
Photo taken this morning and to think that this weekend there was nothing left.
2 meters high 😲 I hope you don't have to shovel your driveway.
Have a lovely day too
Wow… it did snow well. Crazy to think it was gone.
Luckily it was snow shovelled by a large bulldozer when we moved in, zo we could stay on top of it.
It is fun seeing the suv in the driveway and the snow next to it reached way above the roof hahaha 🤣
Will post some photos soon.
Thank you 😊👋🏻 enjoy yours!

The challenge must be fun - in April. Not in January with like -10 °C outside. We run across a video of that with my girlfriend few days ago when skiing in Aprica, Italy, and it seems like something I could give a shot ;)
Yes, in the spring near a jacuzzi so that if you fall in the water, you know where to warm up...
If you do, I'd like to see the video 😀
Enjoy your day
It was a similar one to this one:
Oh with a jump before 😲 not easy to get to the end without getting wet.
It's impossible, unless you're Moses ;)

Ca ressemble trop au petit Claret à Autrans en FRANCE
Oui cela ressemble aux petites stations en France. Les montagnes au Québec ne sont pas hautes du tout...
Street Art is everywhere!!! Cool find 👍 I have skipped across open water on a snowmobile once but the open water was short and I am faster on snowmobile than skis 😜
That's something even on a snowmobile. But I think I'd rather fall into the water on skis than in a snowmobile 😀
