Mont Saint-Sauveur - QC - 11/04/2004 - SKI !!! ENGLISH VIDEO

[Frankontour]

It's started now !

Christophe and me from Zoneski drove up to MSS tonite to ski on the lower part of the West 70.

Way more snow than last year on october 20. They really want to open soon, as the amount of snow is quite big. They would need 2 good nights of snowmaking to open the trail T2B I think.

I didn't uploaded my pics, but here is some ones of Christophe + a video !

The Atomic Express + the snow falling hard

The 70s

The base lodge

The Nordique

Here I am !

The West 70

Again the West 70

The view from the trail

Here is a first video :

But I thought to you and did a little presentation in english (what a bad english, though, especially when I don't have a prepared text...) Anyway, I hope to get it tomorrow and give you the english version

Congratulations on getting the first documented eastern turns of the 04/05 season!

 

[Frankontour]

Thanks Chromer !

Yeah, and I'm returning back tomorrow, I think, with Eric (occasional writer on FTO)

The english video isn't ready yet, but Christophe will give it to me later tonite, so in the worst case, tomorrow night, you'll have the chance to laugh of my bad english

 

[Frankontour]

Hey dear FTOers, here is the little video just for you !

I love it! Don't worry about your English, it's 1,000x better than I would've done in French! Honestly, I didn't hear even one mistake. Your English seems to have come a long way since we skied together last fall.

That personal greeting was terrific, and it's greatly appreciated, bud.

man that looks like alot of fun. Makes me really tempted to drive north tomorrow. Looks like it's snowing in all your pics did they get any rain out of the recent storms?

 

[Frankontour]

It was a pleasure Marc

Woodi : I think they got a bit of rain, but it's supposed to be snowing actually on the mountain.

I'll report this evening on how it was today

I'm not sure it's worth to drive from USA for the conditions of thursday, unless you're in serious "miss" of skiing

Congratulations on bagging the first turns of the eastern season

Anxiously awaiting my turn!

[Frankontour]

Thanks

Honestly I wasn't the first, as there was already a lot of tracks when we arrived (only in the nordique, though)...

I hope your first tracks will happen soon
