City Skiing 2018

So thankful for the snow today to improve ski conditions.

A little bilingual middle school humour. @toesalad and I went skiing today at Cap St Jacques on the west end of the island.

This sign at the ski centre there is not telling us about the fart of the day. Fart is the French word for wax (as in for your x-country skis).

And if you’re a skier you’ll know this was a really warm ski day. But just like the sign says, the ski conditions were good.

We’ve managed to go x-country skiing every weekend of January, all within city limits. City skiing for the win.

The quintessential January sunset - the blue, orange and icy snow.

A very cold day’s ski -20C. We were warm and invigorated and delighted to meet our friend David on the ski trail. Another hearty soul.

A lunchtime quickie, skiing of course.

Skiing at Lachine canal.

I may or may not have bought this soft shell at Value Village this fall just so I’d match my skis. All I’m missing is my toque.

Skiing Parc Maisonneuve. Love how close this park is to our house.
