View from the hotel window.
The surprisingly steep, snowy, and icy main drag.
Snow covered square in town.
Looking down the main drag. Notice the sign in the lower left informing people of the iced surface.
Skiing in day 1. The visiblility was not great resulting in flat lighting conditions, so I snuck into the double-black diamond trees. Fun, but needed about another foot of snow to cover all the rocks.
Sissy Schuss! How awesome is that?
Skiing back down towards the base at the end of day 1. The gondola is on the left. The top of the Cabriolet lift is between the buildings across the sidewalk from where the gondola starts.
The cabriolet lift, takes folks up from the parking lot to the base area where the ski lifts start. Sarah here is lusting after the red beetle gondola chair.
Sarah in the red beetle cabin of the Cabriolet lift. Sarah, of course, drives a blue beetle car and she loves it.
Making Tier Sur la Niege, or Maple Taffy on Snow. This guy comes out and pours some boiling maple syrup on the snow, and then 45 seconds later you roll it up on a popsicle stick.
Free ice skating. That's Sarah and Amalea standing by the fire. Sadly none of us had skates and it was brutally cold (8F).
Details of the free ice skating.
Little church where the ice skating was.
The resort village of Mont Tremblant.
Talking through the hotels.
Sarah is all bundled up for the cold. We're about to go for a sleigh ride!
Sarah, Michal, Andrew and Amalea posing in front of the horses (Dan and Lindsey) which would take us on our hour-long hay ride.
Amalea and Andrew on the sleigh ride.
Michal and Sarah on the sleigh ride.
The sleigh came equipped with plenty of surprisingly warm blankets and a nice cushy foam seat.
It's blurry because the lights are headlights, but that's a deer resting on a square patch of grass. I suspect, given the shape of the grass, that it was artificially set to lure the deer so the sleigh ride operators could point it out each time.
Random folks on the sleigh ride.
Looking forward through the sleigh at the light in front and the horses.
