Ski Chalet Weekend
Well, weekend turned out pretty good. Met up with Daniel after work on Friday, we bought groceries, beer and wine and were out of Montreal by 6:00pm. We got to Sutton around 7:30, had dinner and then the party started. Our friend J-F was there with all his equipment so DJ was on. I was exhausted and ready to pass out by the time we got there, but I wasn't going to miss out on this party so nothing a wake-up couldn't fix. Beer went down easy and shooters flowed all night. I finally went to bed at 1:00 and no sooner did my head hit the pillow that I didn't hear or see anything, slept straight through until 9:00 the next morning.
Guess we'd partied a little hard, but was convinced the fresh air would solve our problems. We had breakfast and got all bundled up and headed out on the slopes. Turns out we didn't need too much bundling up seeing as it was practially Spring out there! Anyway, first hill was scary... I hadn't skied in so long and once we got up to the top, the beginner trail was closed, so ended up going down an intermediate hill. I was shaking I was so nervous, but made it down. I fell a few times, Daniel, the good boyfriend that he is stood there and laughed at me trying to get up. He thought it was "cute" to watch... I'll get him... Anyway, we skied until 3:00pm and it was fabulous! Four hours of skiing, not bad after a five year break! :)
Went back to the chalet, took a hot shower and a snack. Wanted to take a nap but figured it would be pretty impossible with the amount of people we had in that place. We watched the Montreal VS Toronto game (4-3 in OT) and then 6 of us ate a dinner of raclette. Daniel and I emptied a bottle of wine and then DJ started up again, shooters started going around.... and then the neighbours complained. Oh well, turned it dow a notch or two and played cards and Jenga. Pretty interesting when you have 8 drinking adults playing that! Went to bed around 2:00 and again, slept like a baby.
Sunday we got up and packed up. Had breakfast, watched everybody leave and along with the couple who organised the whole weekend, we were last to leave. Went back to Daniel's and THERE we took our nap. Relaxed for the rest of the day, watched a movie and that was that. Not too bad... :)
