Christmas break!
Skiing in Mont Tremblant.
Long ago I decided to join some people who stayed in Canada for the Christmas break and wanted to go skiing and travelling. We, a group of about 24, started on the 21st of December in the middle of the night and arrived - pretty tired after 9 hours of driving - at our chalets at noon. Distances in Canada are not the same as distances in Germany and what Canadians or Australians call a mountain is sometimes just a hill. Espescially our Swiss guys were a bit confused about this denomination.
Unfortunatelly I cannot post any pictures of me skiing. Who knows me can imagine why. I was just too fast to be caught by a camera! ;-)
But I have other nice pictures.
Our chalets. They were so nice and cozy. I liked it there.
Snow!!!!!! Mont Tremblant, where some of us skied.
On Christmas Eve many of the group wanted to go out for dinner. Only 4 Germans wanted to keep alive the Christmas tradition. I was one of them. We had a great dinner at home with the Christmas tree on our side (Sven brought it with him to the chalets) and later we walked to the next village and had luck, because the Christmas mass had just started. Altogehter we had a perfect Christmas Eve. After we were all back it was time for "secret santa"!

Hey Dani, great page!!!
You're right, it was for me, as one of the Swiss guys, a big disappointment when I saw these "mountains" of Mont Tremblant. But I learned that it is possible to have fun even on hills. :)
It was a great trip and I hope there will be more of them in some future.
Cheers,
Bea
Hello Dani. My father's parents came from Montreal, Quebec area to the United States many years ago.
I like Canada very much. My favorite city is Edmonton, Alberta.
Cool Web page,
For real Canadian skiing you need to go to the Rockies in Western Canada. Whistler and Banf are among the top 5 resorts in the world, with wide open country extreme elevations and great powder without the confined feeling that I often encounter in congested Europe.
