First timers’ guide
Clothing
Maintaining your body temperature in varying weather conditions is tricky. Because your personal comfort is the starting point, make sure to:
Select clothing that is waterproof, breathable and loose fitting;
Think in terms of layering by adding or taking off articles depending on outside temperature and level of exertion;
Use long thermal underwear, either light or medium weight as innermost layer;
Choose a fabric with thermal properties such as polypropylene to transport moisture away from the skin;
Loose-fitting, insulated shell pants are preferable to tight stretch pants; and
Avoid jeans.
Our Boutique inside the North Lodge by Customer Service has a wide variety of mittens, gloves, socks and hats to keep you warm.
For your feet
Wear a pair of wool or synthetic socks, opting for warmth over bulk. Avoid wearing 2 pairs of socks.
For your upper body
Polupropylen clothing is essential
Avoid cotton
For the outer jacket, wear a winter jacket with good insulation
For your hands, wear insulated and waterproof gloves or mittens
For your head
We highly recommend you wear a helmet. Choose one that cover your ears. Other helmets, like bicycle helmets, are not recommended.
A pair of ski goggles and a neck warmer will avoid wind burn.
UPON YOUR ARRIVAL
When you arrive at the resort, go straight for the big red & brown lodge. Follow the sign pointing to the entrance for customer service. Inside you will be able to buy your lift ticket, rent your equipment and reserve a ski or snowboard lesson.
Afterwards, head to the 2nd floor. This is where you can get ready to go skiing, drop your valuables in a locker ($2 fee) and get a good meal at the Cascades’ Market or at Pub Amigo. You will also find washrooms in the main lodge.
Slopes for beginners
The easiest trails are identified by a green circle. At Mont Cascades, you will find our easiest run, called ”Mini”, on the far right of the resort. Your instructor will show where you and your children should ski after your lesson.
