Even though it was 6 years ago, everybody remembers our family’s first Montreal skiing trip. Our little boy didn’t ski, but he played with a lot of snow in our friend’s backyard; he also played street hockey with the neighborhood kids there. This year, he skied a lot, he also had fun playing table tennis in our same friend’s house.
The breakfast was as rich as our last night’s dinner. We left our gratitude, carries our friendship with us, that will increase through years.
Tremblant is our trip destination. We expected better snow, better services and more fun.
After one hour drive, followed another one hour dealing with the G4 & G5 snow pass, we still didn’t get the free ticket due to the Tremblant holiday restriction. 😩
When we finally got on the gondola, it was 1:30pm, but it’s not our fault, manager.
The mountain is high and huge as everyone knows. But the snow shouldn’t be this poor: very icy and hard base with some uneven man made snow on the top. 😠
I was already frustrated after the first run. But to be respectful for our manager, and try to reduce the cost for each run, I still skied at least 5 times from the mountain top.0
Yeah, 4 o’clock, no night ski, let’s go to our new hotel.
Interesting Sidelights
Since we have 3 white similar helmets, in order to pick easily and save time on each changing time, our manager wrote all of our FULL name on each helmets.
So many times, people warmly greeted to me: Hi Lucy, how is your skiing today?
Then I was able to get contact with some skiers who came from US and Europe; some young as 4 and some old as 63.
So I think, writing names on helmet really isn’t an bad idea, but first name only might be good enough. Buddy 😐
