I feel like I'm just beginning to get over the jet lag and general incompetence of getting home with Air Canada.

But aside that it was an awesome holiday with some awesome people, one that I won't forget for a long while (party due to the bruises I'm still finding). I've snowboarded once before but this time I learnt how to turn my board properly which meant my flat little hiney spent lots of good quality time with the snow. I did land on my head more than once too, so if you ever consider snowboarding without a helmet you are a suicidal muppet.

The first couple of days were spent scooting around the nice slopes of Saint Sauveur to get reacquainted with the boards and some of our friends took ski lessons. Saint Sauveur is a great resort when you're in a group of varying levels, most people on the holiday have skied for years but kept themselves happily occupied on the range of green, blue and black runs. Then midweek we went to the beautiful town and mountain of Tremblant which is a little more advanced - not due to the classifications of the runs but because it's never quiet there and the runs are much longer so when you start at the top you've made a bit of a commitment. I took the day off and let the the group crack on without me while I rested up in the bar and took a hike to a viewing platform overlooking the mountains.

We also made sure we didn't miss pancake day by having dinner in a Creperie of course.

And we also had a good long ramble around Montreal on the last day. It was freezing.
