This years 24h ski event for Charles Bruneau has recieved over $1,800 000.00 in donations.  This is defineately something the resort can be proud of.   This event always brings tons of people to Tremblant and usually kick starts the season.

On Monday which was the actual day for Halloween the trick or treaters end up doing the rounds in the town of St. Jovite where the same concept applies, merchants open their doors and hand out candy to everyone.  I took a few

I decided to take my lunch break at the top of the Sommet, which  never happens but it made all the difference.  I hadn’t been up

I was driving my car on Chemin du Lac Mercier going to visit a property when I saw this huge turtle on the side of the road.

The weather this week has been incredible and really warm and this thing was just sitting there in the sun right on the street.  I passed it going pretty fast when I slammed on the breaks just to make sure I was seeing correctly.
