Well, the 2006-2007 World Cup season has started more with a fizzle than a bang as contest after contest gets cancelled due to the lack of snow. Seriously, no snow in Eastern Canada, the Eastern US and Europe!
Despite the lack of snow in Quebec and in spite of the abundance of rain that fell all weekend, the Mont Gabriel World Cup ran last weekend so Steve and I went up to the hill to watch it. (Mont Gabriel is about an hours drive from Montreal in the Laurentians.)
Dom's possy of friends from Montreal and Quebec City also came out to party and cheer on Jenn and the B210 Team and I have to admit, they do it a lot better than we do at home. Seriously, I wish I didn't have to say this, I wish it could be different, but the pictures speak for themselves...Check out the tents, the propane fuelled cheese fondue and the crowds of 30-somethings ripping it up in the pouring rain on the side of the ski hill.
And finally...
A big shout out to Dom because he got all of his skiers on the B210 team into the finals. Way to go Dom and all the B210 team!
Also, Congrats to Alex on your third place finish in men's moguls!
And Jenn...she finished first in the semi's only to be attacked by the slush gods after the first air who ate her ski and refused to let her ski past. However, she showed everyone who is boss in the women's bosse yesterday bouncing back with a second place finish in Deer Valley. Way to go Jenn!
