The scenery on the road to the ski village we stayed in was simply breathtaking. Our hotel, the Hilton, was conveniently located. It was at the bottom of the slope, ski-in/ski-out. The gondola to the top of the mountain was right outside the doors of the hotel. We were more than pleased with our accommodations, which included a full kitchen and fireplace.

After dressing myself in multiple layers and struggling to snap on my snug ski boots, I was ready for the slopes. I’ll never forget my feelings during the first run down the mountain. The feeling was so surreal. I felt like I was in the middle of a beautifully designed snow globe. Surrounding me was nothing but snow covered mountains. Once I got to the bottom of the slope I was in shock when I was told that I just skied down a two-mile run.

Each afternoon of skiing was followed by a relaxing time at Le Shack, our favorite restaurant and bar in the village right next to our hotel. This is where we got our taste of French culture, Labatt Bleue! Afew advantages of being in Canada were the drinking age and the exchange rate. It was easy to forget that we were in another country because it felt so welcoming, but we were quickly reminded when our waiter greeted us in French.

Towards the end of the week

The nightlife in Tremblant was absolutely thrilling! It might have helped that it was college week. Many colleges on the East Coast planned trips this same week. Afew of us, including myself, even ran into friends that we graduated high school with. This made the vacation feel even more at home. There were many bars and clubs that we danced and socialized at until dawn. The club scene is not much different than here in the U.S. People were drinking, dancing on the bars and just having an enjoyable time. The walk from our hotel to the bars was not far at all but the walk back felt like forever because it was up hill. Just imagine watching a group of college students attempting to walk up an ice-covered hill. I shouldn’t even call it walking. It was more like ice-skating without the skates. But we managed to make it home safely each night and do it all over again the next.

The last night was one of the most memorable nights we spent in Canada. Alarge group from Cabrini went out to dinner and we all dreaded leaving the next day. We all grew a little closer to each other this week and couldn’t have asked for a better time. Thanks Joe Coyle for orchestrating such a successful trip!

I highly recommend going to Canada with Cabrini’s Ski Club next year to anyone who is interesting in having a fun experience. The trip is a great opportunity to take advantage of while in college. I plan on incorporating it in my winter break next year too. You do not even have to have any skiing abilities to enjoy the scenery, the social scene and course, Le Shack!

Thursday through Saturday new romantic proposals will demand a quick response: provide an honest evaluation.

TAURUS (April 21-May 20)

Over the next 5 days, official documents will require careful scrutiny. Pay special attention to payment promises, acquired debt and financial calculations. Numbers may provide little insight into actual long-term costs: avoid written agreements. Late Wednesday, ask loved ones for a clear explanation of family plans. Group and social obligations will soon increase: expect friends and relatives to be poorly motivated or irritable. Be diplomatic: private emotions may be intense.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

News from employers or government officials may be disruptive this week. Over the next few days, some Geminis will shuffle work schedules and adopt revised duties.
