| | Over the holidays we stayed with friends in Ottawa and skied in Gatineau park. |
|
| | Here are Aleksa and Marie-Pierre. |
|
|
|
|
| | We arrived just after record-breaking snowfall in Montreal and a fantastic season start in Gatineau. |
|
| | And we were treated with stunning weather while there. |
|
| | The power of 1980s wind pants kept Aleksa going strong. |
|
|
|
|
| | On the 31st, we skied in to the camp site near Lac Philippe. |
|
|
|
| | Stomping out a tent spot... |
|
| | will keep you warm for a while. |
|
| | As will other camp chores, |
|
| | especially digging! |
|
| | We cooked instant Indian food in Aleksa's "snow oven" ... |
|
| | and drank ginger beer. Happy New Year's! |
|
|
|
|
|
| | More beautiful skies and colder weather greeted us in the morning. |
|
| | Here's CPBL's method of emergency toe-rewarming. The effect is as ω²r plus g, so maximise your speed at the bottom of the swing (aligned with gravity) and point your toes. |
|
| | Aleksa's a pro after her second time winter camping, |
|
| | and at the end of her first week on cross-country ski trails. |
|
|
|
|
| | City schedules called us home. |
