We went to Montreal, Beaupré and Baie St. Paul. Our cousin lives in Montreal and he has a HTC Vive virtual goggles and he let us use it. There was VR Painting, Archery, Space Viewer and al lot of games. Then we went Benny&co. which is a Québécois chicken place and met our friends. We then drove to Beaupré to ski at Mont St. Anne.
At that point it was already to late so we ate at a restaurant called St. Hubert which was like a Swiss Chalet, a very disappointing Swiss Chalet. The food took forever to come and when it did, it was all cold. We went to a Motel called Hotel Condo Dés Berges, which means shoreline, and listened to Lee Child's Jack Reacher Nothing To Lose. And that was so boring.
The next day, we went straight to the mountain for skiing and snowboarding, after our brunch at A&Ws. We met each other at the top of Mont St. Anne. Because DeMille was slower and less confident on the big mountain, I went with my friends. After our fourth run, we met back up with Papa and DeMille and as we were descending together, I saw a sugar shack (Cabane a sucre) on the side of the mountain, so I stopped and took out my wallet and bought DeMille and me a hot maple taffy stick which we rolled over icy snow. Then my friend and I went to the chalet to get some hot chocolate.
My dad, DeMille and I stayed at the slopes later because our friends were tired, so they reserved a table at a fancy pub. DeMille got tired so he stayed on the bunny slopes while Papa and I did two more runs. We finally got to the pub after 8 hours of skiing. Papa had a Google Cardboard VR holder for his Samsung s7 edge, so we tried that during dinner. We went back to our room and listened to more Jack Reacher as we fell asleep.
The next day, we were straight on the road. Onto the next mountain, Le Massif! When we got to Le Massif, we missed the sign for the summit parking so we drove all the way down to the base. We left Butler in the car wrapped up in Papa's sweater and a blanket that we borrowed from the motel, because the our next hotel was not ready yet.
We then took the gondola to the summit where we waited for our friends to show up so that we can start our tobogganing day trip. When they arrived, we got our toboggans and jumped into a snowcat that brought us to the top of the mountain. And from there, we started our way down. My friend's dad and I were at the very front, rocketing our way down the mountain and did sharp turns and got some air on little jumps.
We arrived at the half way mark which had a cabin with hot chocolate and a wood burning stove where we can warm our hands and dry our balaclavas. And then we were off again. Across bridges and into puffy snow. When we got to the bottom, it was getting late so we said goodbye to our friends for the day and we went to the hotel.
The hotel was great. It was near a quaint little village and the room was a good size.
In the the town, there was a restaurant that had racclette and cheese fondue and a lot of cheese and bread. I then had a sundae for dessert. We went back to the hotel and listened to JACK REACHER!!!! And then we fell asleep.
We left early in the morning for the slopes as it had snowed 57 cm the last night and we wanted the fresh powdered snow. And it was amazing, snowboarding in the fresh snow was like surfing a perfect wave but some times, the snow would catch into the front of the board and flip me over. I also learn how to do a one-eighty and when I do a jump, I can grab the bottom of my board. After the 2rd run, DeMille's legs were sore from yesterday so he decided to just do the bunny hill while my dad, friends and I went to do some more runs on green circle and blue squares. The green circles are nice because the are long and a little less difficult and have a bunch of jumps and it took half an hour to make it to the bottom.
After 7 hour of snowboarding, we went back to the hotel and DeMille and I stayed home while Mama and Papa went to a fondue place for dinner.
The next day we had waffles and hot chocolate for brunch then drove back to Montreal for New Years Eve. We arrived at the Novotel and we got a massive room with two queen sized bed with a pull-out couch and a coffee table. So we filled the sink full of ice to chill our drinks and turn on the tv to watch the New Years show and waited for our friends to arrive.
We they got to the Novotel, we had dinner with them, then they came to our room and got some chips and salsa and drinks and chips. Our friend knows how to program so he make a count down timer for the New Year. We ended up staying up to 3 in the morning but our friends went to be right after New Years. We woke up a 9:30 in the morning and went down to breakfast. I had cereal and fruit and crepes.
We then said goodbye to our friends and we drove back to Toronto while listening to Hercule Poriot Murder on the Orient Express.
The End
