Off we go skiing...

There's no better way to spend the first weekend of the school year than to join MASSA's 2nd Annual Ski Trip. In the evening of 13th January, a bus full of MASSA members and friends, both amateur and intermediate skiers, began the 2-hour journey to Mont Blanc. (Yes, we decided on Mont Blanc once again due to its excellent accommodation and various levels of ski trails.) After collecting our ski equipment at the ski rental area, we headed to our condos. This year, we occupied 2 blocks of three-storey condos. Some confusion arose while redistributing the ski equipment but thanks to our helpful members, everyone got their equipment within 20 minutes. Members were free to chill and prepare for an exciting Day 2.

Early in the morning of day 2, everyone got their ski gears ready and headed to the slopes. The weather was a freezing -30 degrees Celsius. Regardless of the harsh weather, everyone had a great time sliding down the slopes.

On Day 3, some members chose to enjoy another day of adrenaline-rush skiing while some chose to visit the Mont Tremblant Village. 

Yes! We did it! We conquered the Black Diamond!

At 5 in the evening of 15th of January, we bid farewell to Mont Blanc and headed back to McGill.

MASSA would like to say 'THANK YOU!'  to all members for making this ski trip a memorable one. We look forward to seeing you on our next ski trip~
