Okay, not really.
But my father and I went to Mont Tremblant the weekend before last for a little ski trip. I don't get to ski very often, which puts me at a perpetual advanced beginner/intermediate level, but that was fine for our weekend. My dad was quite accepting of my skills, and we skied well together.

I enjoyed Mont Tremblant. The runs were great, and my father and I enjoyed many a beer at the local microbrewery
La Diable. We didn't suffer for food either, and our accommodations, Ermitage du Lac, were nice. Frankly, it was a pretty stellar trip, if I may say so myself since I organized it as a Christmas gift for my dad (and by extension, me).

| Sure it's a fabricated village, but it ain't bad. |
On one of our skiing days, I kept having The Weekend play in my head, "I can't feel my face..." because it was so freakin' cold.

Of course, the village had lots of ski memorabilia. I love, love, love the vintage ski posters, like this one -
I could totally replicate this outfit. The sweater? Not a problem. And check out this vintage pattern.
Listen, my ski outfit was such a hodgepodge of elements that going retro would be a total upgrade! But first, I think I'm going to go ahead and buy skis at the end of the season. I really like skiing, and now that I've told the ladyfriend she can snowmobile while I ski, she's more interested.
Finally, the Mont Tremblant airport was so sweet! Love the ski chalet feel to it!

It was a great trip! I look forward to returning next year, but this time, we'll rent our own chalet! Whoo-hoo!
