The pitch on Skiers right of Chickadee faces nearly due south because of this, sucks all but the biggest of days. Tight evergreens, and crappy snow. Now the skiing off Head Head north face, tis sweet, but hard to get to and a long walk out to the road.

i live in bridgewater which is about 2 hours 20 mins from wentworth, and i still got up there about 10-12 times last year, but i like it so much bettert than martock i bought a season pass for there this year.

- the moral of my rambling on... go the wentworth.

Games will be in Nova Scotia in 2011. the ski hill hasn't been selected yet but I will post as soon as I hear. The next games are in 2007 in Whitehorse, and yes Gov't spends tons of cash accomidating and bringing hill specs up to par for the games.

It is north from the cross country trails. Depending on your gear, skills, snow, etc.. it could take you anywhere from 20-90 minutes to get there from the top of the mountain. The ski out is about the same, plus car shuttle. It faces off to "the Mall" or the Tatamagouche Rd. It is the best consistent fall line on the mountain and higher than the actual ski hill. It is commited and you need to know where the goods are, otherwise the trees can be very tight.

As far as I know it was first skied in the 60's and then again in the 80's and now the 00's.

Again the North Chickadee Ridge that faces the Explosion is not an area to build a ski trail. Because it faces south it has avery hard time retaining snow. So it just ain't ever going to happen unless our temperatures here get about 10 degrees cooler a year.
