WINTER 2010 – Day 7

Another beautiful day!
We spent out last day together at Village Vacances Val-Cartier.
Once on site, I realized my body was not up to this. Take it easy!
No way I’m going to climb this on foot. That’s is why they installed chairlifts. Hooray for chairlifts!!
The first two runs brought me back to earth, particularly the second one. […]

WINTER 2010 – Day 6

This is our last day of snowmobiling before a two-night stay in a cottage at Mont Ste-Anne.
We had to change our itinerary a few times today. The mild weather made some rivers and trails impassable. But, J-C, Dave and Jean-Guy are full of resources!!! Once again, we’re lucky to have them with us!
A Bit of […]

WINTER 2010 – Day 2 And off we go on our snowmobiles!

Today, we’ll take it easy, a mere 25 km! We got to our destination before lunch. Thank God! The three shelters at Camp Giroux are under tonnes of snow! Watch your step! Oops! We’re waist-deep in snow! No lack of snow here. Our braves, the men and male teenagers, shared the four shovels to clear […]

WINTER 2010 - Day 1 What a way to start an adventure!

Our first problem: the luggage!!!
I was surprised when I saw the luggage. Two suitcases for a few days!?! Impossible! Possible, indeed! We had rendez-voused in the hotel lobby. Boarding for Forêt Montmorency; bus, highway, lunch on board. Ever tried to make sandwiches in a moving bus? Quite the adventure, but lots of fun! On the […]
