I recently got into skiing and I'm wondering whats the best place to ski around Ottawa. I'm a beginner so I'm still renting for the time being..and I'm a poor student so cost is a big issue.

There's 2 for 1 night skiing at Camp Fortune on tuesday and saturday nights. On saturday nights I think rentals are 2 for 1 as well. Night skiing begins @ 4pm.
They have relatively short runs so it's prolly good for beginners.

Mont Ste Marie is a really good hill for beginners and isn't a bad hill overall.

Edelweiss and Mont Cascade aren't bad either.
Fortune has the 2for1 discounts but it gets really busy.

are mont ste marie, edelweiss, and cascade much better than fortune?
the sloooow lifts and the super short runs @ fortune kill me. i hate going there honestly. haha.. just wondering if the other local hills are much better.
i miss vancouver's local mountains. :(

you can try and go to Vorlage in Wakefield (10mins from fortune)....they have like 3 beginner hills that are not that pretty decent.
