Oh, CANADA!!!
yesterday i finally returned from our neighbors to the north. i took peter with me to meet up with some people to go skiing at mount tremblant outside montreal. i had gone there last year, but this was peter's first time...and his first time skiing in 10 years.
we got up there friday night, and saturday we headed out to the mountain. there were less people than one would think on a saturday, and we had some excellent conditions. peter only knocked me over twice, and he fell just a few times. we made our way back to the condo for some lunch and a showers. we headed to casey's bar for dinner with the rest of our skiing weekend crew. and then after that we made our way to Le Petite Caribou for some drinking and dancing! we tried to catch the last shuttle bus back up the hill to go get to our condo, but sadly the only bus that was running was "too big and too long" according to it's driver, which, as he said, is also the story of his life. i think that was a little TMI. so what's left for drunk people to do??? that's right, walk up the mountain where our condo was. as we're headed up the hill, a group of drunken souls start singing behind us....and the chorus of the song you ask, well it was..."mustard and baloney and liquor and whores!!!" which then became the anthem of the weekend
sunday started out just like saturday....up in the early morning and then out to the slopes. peter and i went over to the north side of the mountain, and found even BETTER conditions and absolutely NO people. we had the place to our selves, practically. we had the most fun skiing through the snow makers....it was like a skiing car wash. after getting in some good hours on the slopes, peter and i made our way to the Creperie and had some yummy crepes for lunch!!! and then a little shopping on the mountain. we then met up with everyone back at our condo and had a lovely pasta dinner with the gang. we started to watch the absolute WORST horror movie ever, called High Tension. i think what should've given us a clue was that it was a french horror flick and it was dubbed horribly. needless to say, i will not ruin the movie by telling you what happens....take my word, you're not missing anything by not seeing it!!!
monday morning, out and about skiing it up. this time there were EVEN LESS people on the mountain, even more snow because we got a few inches over night. but by this time, since i am SO out of shape, i could only get through a few runs. so i took a hot cocoa break at the top of the mountain, and peter took on some more runs. we headed back to the condo after peter was done skiing and got ready for FONDU NIGHT!!
but before fondu, we all headed to a new feature at tremblant....the N'ICE club, which is a giant igloo bar!!! everything is made of snow and ice, even the glasses. so it was really fun to spend some time there. and COOL (ha! what a joke-ster i am) and i thought i would be a little freaked out by sitting on what looked like elk fur, but i will say it was quite warm and comfy. the drinks were good too! then we had some more drinks this time at the brewery on the mountain. then off to fondu. it was cheezy goodness all around!!! and there was also seafood and beef, and a little chocolate fondu for dessert, so life was good eats. then we all headed back to the condos, full of good food, good drinks and good times.
before peter and i left the mountain yesterday, we stopped in for one more round of crepes. goodness i LOVE those crepes. so peter and i had a FANTASTIC time and i was sad to see canada go. so next year, you should totally come with us. it was AWESOME!

yes well that's all fine and good, but there's no mention of ME anywhere! Didn't I specifically request that last night while I was on the treadmill speaking to you in an out-of-breath sort of way?
