MASSA Ski Getaway!

Montreal’s notoriously cruel winter months tend to leave us dreading the new school semester, especially after a festive Christmas or southern escapade to enjoy warm weather. However, on January 14, MASSA organized its first ever Ski Trip Weekend Getaway at Mont Blanc and attracted its members and friends to enjoy a fabulous weekend with MASSA.

On the first day arriving at Mont Blanc, after collecting our ski equipment from the rental store, we headed off to our apartments and prepared a yummy delicious dinner.

Next day early morning, it took us quite a long time to put on the ski boots before we headed up to the mountain. For those who have no experience skiing, we had a skiing lesson with a ski instructor. After having a few practices at the bunny hill, we were ready to challenge the ‘Green’ slope (considered the easiest, followed by ‘Blue’, ‘Black Diamond’, ‘Double Black Diamond’). With some experience with skiing, this was considered as easy as a cup of tea but for those who were skiing for the first time, they had a hard time going down the slope. Some fell badly while some crashed into the woods!! Ouch! It was painful!! Nevertheless, they preserved and managed to ski to the end.

Winter came alive as we took an enchanting moonlit sleigh ride through the snow-covered forests. Just from hearing those sleigh bells jingling, tingling enhanced our sleigh ride journey in the cold.

On the last day, some of us continued skiing and they challenged themselves with ‘Black and Double Black Diamond’ slopes. The rest went for tubing and short trip to Mont Tremblant.

We then had a sushi buffet @ Crescent Sushi after we arrived Montreal.

Thank you to everyone who made this Ski Trip a huge success. I hope everyone had a memorable winter experience in Quebec. Check out our MASSA Facebook  / Blog for more upcoming events.
