Skiing the Le Portage Trail in Parc National Du Bic

On a relatively mild (20 F) Tuesday morning we headed back to Parc National Du Bic for a morning ski along the Le Portage trail from which we took the spur trail to the Epinettes. With the warmer temperatures, the red squirrels seemed to be particularly active, both in moving about and in their calls. Otherwise, it was a very quiet morning. We did not see any other skiers or snowshoers on our 90 minute ski tour.
