Easter Break Day 3: Marble Mountain, Steady Brook Falls, Summerside, Norris Point

Marble Mountain is not far from Corner Brook, and since March 31st was the last day for skiing Marie-France and François, the snow bunnies decided to spend half a day there. I decided to refrain from giving it a try, since I always get butt cramps doing the pizza stop to slow down the descent, and the fact that I'm a hazard to myself and others on the hill.    

Marble Mountain Ski Resort
It was a lovely sunny warm day that last day in March, perfect for being out in the snow.

From the bottom of the hill, it looks as if the skiers would end up diving into the Trans Canada highway, since the highway runs right at the foot of the mountain. From the top, those who are courageous are rewarded with an incredible view of snowy mountain tops of the Long Range Mountains. 

Steady Brook Falls
While the two snow bunnies were at Marble Mountain, the girls and I took a hike to Steady Brook Falls, a waterfall in Steady Brook, which is the village where Marble Mountain Resort is located.

On the left is "Man in the Mountain" I read the descriptive plaque, but still couldn't spot the "man"

Lookout stops In Gors Morne on the way to Norris Point
At various scenic locations in Gros Morne park you would find these trademark red Muskoka chairs. They make for some really pretty photos.
