Last weekend Jenn, Dom, Steve and I took a road trip to Quebec City so that we could compete in the Le Massif open. The Le Massif open is a skier cross which entails screaming down a hill for approximately 2.5 minutes all the while navigating drops and rollers which are strategically placed in the skiers path. Oh yah, and then they threw in a table top at the bottom of the course just in case anyone could still feel their legs.
I was the first female skier to the bottom (as the first girl ended up in the net) and finished my run by exploding off the newly shaved table top and landing completely on my back! (Who rebuilds a jump after a course closes at the end of training!)
Next down in our group was Steve-O...I resisted the urge to radio up and say that it was too dangerous for him to compete and he eventually cruised to the bottom in just over three minutes! Not the fastest of the day but he did it with style!
Finally, last roomie down was Dom, who competed despite having the stomach flu - he finished fourth after being outdone by the racers with their long sharp waxed skis! Dom's friends also competed and Jenn fore ran the afternoon finals. At the end of the day everyone went to the lodge for a massive party with drinks and food and bands. We had such a fun day!
I should also add that Le Massif is one of the most spectacular ski hills that I have ever skied at.
