Blogs from Beaupré, Quebec, Canada, North America - page 2

I bet you have all been breathing a sigh of relief silently thanking God that I haven't written any more chapters to my "War and Peace" travel blog. Well I decided that despite very little going on here it was time just to update you all. The past few days have been very quiet. Saturday involved a short 90 minute ski session on my own as everyone else apart from Marie-Eve was in bed. We then headed towards Quebec and dropped the group off at the shopping mall whilst Marie-Eve and I did the food shopping and then chilled out in the coffee shop enjoying the peace and quite..... Sunday was a chilled morning in the chalet and we then went off karting in Quebec. The resounding agreement was that I was an aggressive driver and ... read more

This is a really short blog and is mainly being used for me to upload my photos from the day. We had a chilled out morning since we all had the day off today. We hit the slopes around midday and ended up playing around on the slopes as a group. We ended up in the "Enchanted Wood" where half way through we took of our respective skis and boards and ended up playing round and part of it entailed burying Sam in the snow even though he didn't have a ski jacket on (the guy is mad!!).

The last weekend of January 2008 was spent at Mont Saint Anne for MISN's yearly ski trip. For all those who are unfamiliar with MISN, it stands for McGill International Student Network. Ski conditions were great, we even managed to find some powder. After a long drive on Friday, with a long stop at the IGA for supplies, we arrived in Mont Sainte Anne. We dropped off our luggage in the rooms and hit the slopes for some night skiing. It was FREEZING!!!. After snowboarding we cooked up some tacos and burritos for dinner, followed by some tequila and various other liquid substances. Saturday morning was a lazy one as Andy and I cleaned the condo a little and then walked over to the slopes. I snowboarded the afternoon, spending the greater part in the woods ... read more
