Today was a perfect day for skiing.  Skies were sunny and clear, and the temperature was about minus 7.

After breakfast, Nadine and I suited up for a day of skiing.  At first, Nadine wasn’t sure if her legs were up to the challenge, but after a few practice runs on the beginner area, she decided to try a run down the mountain.  We rode the gondola up to the top and I snapped this photo before we headed down our first run.

We mainly spent the day skiing the north side of Mont-Tremblant, where it seems to be less busy and the snow conditions are a bit better.  After about 4 or 5 runs, we stopped for lunch in the cafeteria at the top of the mountain.  Here’s me standing on the deck next to the cafeteria entrance.

We started lunch late, so it was already after 2PM when we were finished.  However, there was still enough time to complete one more run on the north side of the mountain before we would need to return to the south side before the lifts close at 3:30 PM.

Here’s a photo of Nadine skiing.

I also managed to capture a couple of videos of Nadine skiing down the mountain.

And here’s another one…

Once we made it to the bottom of the north side, we took the lift back up one last time so we could ski back to the hotel on the south side.

Arriving back at the hotel, we got cleaned up and went to the lounge for drinks and snacks.  It was a tiring but very enjoyable day on the slopes.

We awoke early to get on the lifts at 7:45 AM so we could get some runs in before the skiers carve them up.  Unfortunately, after trying a couple of runs in the beginner area, Nadine decided her legs were still too sore to ski.  So, I set out on my own to spend the day skiing while Nadine recovered at the hotel.

In the evening, we spent a couple of hours in the hot pools before having a nice dinner at Windigo, the restaurant at the hotel.

The forecast is good for tomorrow, about minus 5 and partly sunny, so hopefully Nadine will make it back out on the slopes.

Because we spent yesterday skiing, we planned to take a break today.  Nadine is still a beginner skier, so we expected her to have sore legs the day after.  Therefore, we booked massages at the hotel spa.

After a leisurely breakfast in the lounge, we headed down to the spa for our treatments.  After our massages, we spent the remainder of the day enjoying the village.  We explored the area and took in a movie in the local cinema.

We found a nice casual restaurant in the village for dinner and then returned to the hotel to relax in the pools.

After a relaxing swim, we had drinks and dessert in the gold lounge.

After drinks, we retired to our room for the night.  We plan to get an early start tomorrow to hopefully return to the ski slopes.
