Unfortunately my gimmick did get a laugh and a subsequent vote of approval.  Since then I have been secretly (doing tons of sit-ups and) hoping donations would not pass through my site, but through other more regular channels. But alas mysterious people are generously giving to the cancer cause and thus making me remove pieces of clothing for their entertainment. <span id="more-16422"></span>I can picture certain people right now in front of their buzzing laptops, popcorn in hand, donating large sums of money while crackling laughter erupts from their salty lips as they think about my eventual (tasteful but reticent) nudity.  Well the joke is on them because I am doing exactly what I wanted- raising money for the battle against cancer.</p><p>But back to the good stuff.  “Sofia” has generously donated $50 to push me/us into the next level of awkward nudity.  She is a crafty one that Sofia. An anonymous donor also gave another $100 so after this article I will have to publish another in quick succession, but we’ll go over that “uncovered” bridge when we come to it (that was a nudity-bridge pun by the way).  So let us all give thanks to Sofia, that mysterious beauty who actually demanded I take something exciting off.  Your wish is my command Sofia.  I hope you are sitting down:</p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/24h-Tremblant-III-chest.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-16422];player=img;" title="24h Tremblant III chest"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-16431" title="24h Tremblant Striptease: Gettin Hot in Herre" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/24h-Tremblant-III-chest-592x789.jpg" alt="24h Tremblant Striptease: Gettin Hot in Herre" width="592" height="789" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://velodonation.24htremblant.com/Pages/Participants/Participant.aspx?id=176">This is a good time for you to give to a good cause.

Here I thought I was excited, but imagine when my two children got out of bed to see all those BIG snowflakes falling from the sky. You would have thought that Christmas had arrived early this morning, although in a way, I guess it sort of did. They just couldn’t eat fast enough! Finally, for the first time this season, the kids got to wear their new <a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/fre/marques/the-north-face/enfants" target="_self">The North Face</a> snowsuits.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/November-016.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-11042];player=img;" target="_blank" title="Amy's children wearing The North Face outfits"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11043" title="First Snow in Tremblant" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/November-016-592x443.jpg" alt="First Snow in Tremblant" width="592" height="443" /></a></p><p><span id="more-11042"></span>If you haven’t already heard, The North Face came out with a new children’s line this season.  They have made everything from bunting bags for babies to snow suits and tuques for toddlers. I could not wait to get my hands on a snow suit for my 2 year old son and 6 year old daughter.  And what beautiful, bright colors! The two of them put those suits to the test this morning, and to no surprise at all, they were fantastic!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/November-033.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-11042];player=img;" target="_blank" title="Cute in The North Face Boone jacket"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11047" title="First Snow in Tremblant" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/November-033-592x443.jpg" alt="First Snow in Tremblant" width="592" height="443" /></a></p><p>What more could a parent ask for? Competitive prices, warmth, bright colors, and to top it all off, each item has a ‘life time warranty’. If at any time a zipper, stitching or buttons break, your product will be guaranteed.  Oh, and I forgot to mention one last detail that I discovered this morning; as I was helping my little guy put on his new winter jacket, (Toddler Boone jacket) I realized that inside the sleeves is a hidden stitch like in all the snow pant’s legs, whether it be the Junior line or Toddler. All you have to do when that jacket or snow pant gets to be a bit on the short end is take out that red stitching, et voila! The sleeve or pant has extended another inch!!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/November-025.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-11042];player=img;" target="_blank" title="Cute in The North Face Girl's Aerial jacket "><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11046" title="First Snow in Tremblant" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/November-025-592x789.jpg" alt="First Snow in Tremblant" width="592" height="789" /></a></p><p>As a mother of two, and this being the second winter I equip my daughter in The North Face to do all of her winter activities, I highly recommend it to anyone out there searching for quality at a decent price.

Unfortunately, the rain ceased at the beginning of the trail. However, humidity, wind and mud accompanied me throughout the day. By walking at a good pace, I reached the summit in less than two hours. The pitzips allowed me to stay dry the entire day.<span id="more-10645"></span><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/La-boue-le-sentier-Mélanie-et-son-Arcteryx-Beta-AR-pour-femme.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-10645];player=img;" target="_blank" title="La boue, le sentier, Mélanie et son Arcteryx Beta AR pour femme"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10691" title="Arcteryx Beta AR tested by Mélanie" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/La-boue-le-sentier-Mélanie-et-son-Arcteryx-Beta-AR-pour-femme-592x332.jpg" alt="Arcteryx Beta AR tested by Mélanie" width="592" height="332" /></a></p><p>A week later, I decided to put the jacket’s abrasion resistance to the test by challenging myself to Arbraska’s (link to Arbraska) extreme courses. As I was putting on my harness, one of the guides came to warn me that I might risk damaging my coat due to some chaffing against the steel cables. She was rather surprised when I told her that that was precisely my goal!</p><p>At the end of the course, the Beta has passed the test: no scratches on the jacket. Not only that, but having spent half the time with my arms in the air, I noticed the panels under the arms stopped the jacket from riding up. Another interesting feature: the pockets are accessible even while wearing a harness.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Woo-Mélanie-vole-avec-son-Arcteryx-Beta-AR.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-10645];player=img;" target="_blank" title="Woo!

The gusts of wind and the strong rain confirmed the Beta’s waterproofness, breathability and confort in all my endeavours.</p><p>However, as opposed to most women’s jackets, the zipper’s slider was on the right side. I had to adapt myself, as in the beginning, through force of habit, I would pull on the wrong side of the zipper. As you can see, it’s the only negative I managed to find!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Mélanie-à-la-fin-Arcteryx-Beta-AR.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-10645];player=img;" target="_blank" title="Mélanie at the end, sporting her Beta AR"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10693" title="Arcteryx Beta AR tested by Mélanie" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Mélanie-à-la-fin-Arcteryx-Beta-AR-562x1000.jpg" alt="Arcteryx Beta AR tested by Mélanie" width="562" height="1000" /></a></p><p>Comfortable, light, resistant and bearing a nice fit, this is an ideal jacket for your outdoor adventures.</p><p>Final score 9.1/10</p><p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p><p>- Mélanie</p><p><em>Mélanie is an osteopath who likes recharging her batteries outdoors.

Fret not my friend, because this article is about fighting the monster that is cancer.  Fighting it with a mighty weapon known as cycling.  Too late, I already have you hooked…</p><div id="attachment_8765" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 602px"><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC4497.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8763];player=img;" target="_blank" title="On the road again. Or is it the track?"><img class="size-large wp-image-8765 " title="24 hour Mont Tremblant" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC4497-592x393.jpg" alt="24 hour Mont Tremblant" width="592" height="393" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">On the road again. Or is it the track?</p></div><p>My story begins like any other Saturday with a bowl of Lucky Charms and a brisk walk to work (I will ignore the fact that most of you don’t have the <em>priviledge</em> of working weekends).  Work, work, work and finally 5 pm creeps up behind me.  Time to head straight to the first annual <a href="http://www.24hvelotremblant.com/home.html" target="_blank">Mont-Tremblant 24hour cycling event</a>, created to raise funds for cancer research.</p><p>Cheering certainly has its benefits, but on this crisp Saturday night I was on my way to the local race track to crush cancer with my freshly shaven legs.<span id="more-8763"></span> Proverbially speaking of course.  I am kind enough to have many generous friends who helped me along financially to raise nearly $400 for cancer research.  My cool retro cycling cap comes off to you, my friends.  In all seriousness every penny donated meant the world to me.  Every time my legs wanted to give out going up the offensive hill I swallowed my vomit and pedalled harder because of everyone supporting me.  But we will get to the aches and pains a little later.</p><p>So back to my timeline.  5:30pm I get to the event and the atmosphere is electric.  Cyclists, smiles and energy drinks as far as the eye can see.  A DJ was ripping it up on the stage (by ‘ripping’ I mean standing behind a nice iMac and bobbing his head), and the spectators seemed to be appreciating it all.  The event had started at noon that morning so as I pulled up to my team’s tent I could see one thing: a lot of empty sports drink bottles and protein bar wrappers.  But once I looked past those two piles I saw my teammates enthralled by the race.  Ours was a bastard team, filled with friends from Sushi Taxi, Cycles et Sport Mont-Tremblant, Freiheit Legal (I don’t go anywhere without my lawyer), Panorama Signature and 1er Choix Lave Auto.  Like a Long Island Iced Tea, we were the product of mixing several volatile ingredients, creating an unstoppable (and delicious) force.  And don’t get me wrong- we were delicious.</p><div id="attachment_8766" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 602px"><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC4637.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8763];player=img;" target="_blank" title="Team Delicious"><img class="size-large wp-image-8766  " title="24 hour Mont Tremblant" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC4637-592x393.jpg" alt="24 hour Mont Tremblant" width="592" height="393" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Team Delicious : Altitude Sports, Sushi Taxi, Cycles et Sport Mont-Tremblant, Freiheit Legal, Panorama Signature and 1er Choix Lave Auto</p></div><p>Mine was the graveyard shift from 10pm to 5am so I had arrived early to cheer on my team mates.  For the next 4 hours I watched as one would come off their bike and crumble to the ground, as another would rise from their saddle and crush their pedals into the oblivion.  We would then be supporting (some might say too enthusiastically) our rider as they zipped by the pit lane.  I had honestly never seen that wonderful facial expression consisting of a mixture of agony and elation; I watched it on the faces of my friends for 10 hours straight, and I will tell you it never ceased to put a smile on my face.</p><div id="attachment_8768" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 602px"><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Mark-n-Lara.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8763];player=img;" target="_blank" title="Mark n Lara"><img class="size-large wp-image-8768 " title="24 hour Mont Tremblant" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Mark-n-Lara-592x332.jpg" alt="24 hour Mont Tremblant" width="592" height="332" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Smiles</p></div><p>From 10pm on I started doing 3 laps on and off with two other friends getting a miserable 20 minutes of rest between each brutal session.  I learned to love that taste of bile stemming from continued muscle ache that night.  I also had the pleasure of riding with many friendly cyclists from around Quebec who kept a swift pace and a courteous attitude as I tried to break away and make up time for our team- usually to no avail, but nonetheless in my head I looked like Lance Armstrong as I broke away (subsequently to be passed on the uphill).  The wee hours of the night were tough for my 3 person crew, but we pushed each other hard and made sure to cover each other in fleece throughout the chilly shift.</p><p>Fourtunately for my body I was able to slide two hours of sleep in from 5 to 7am Sunday morning.  However, it did not seem to satistfy my legs.  They had revolted in the night and they were burning bridges inside of me.  Regardless, I was asked to do some more loops on the track and I obliged.  My legs were less enthusiastic, but I made them an offer they could not refuse.  Halfway through my second lap they refused my offer.  I spent the rest of the morning cheering and trying to keep my gelatinous legs under my control.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMG_9942.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8763];player=img;" target="_blank" title="Gelatinous legs"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8767" title="24 hour Mont Tremblant" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/IMG_9942.jpg" alt="24 hour Mont Tremblant" width="512" height="768" /></a></p><p>So by the time the awesome event was nearing a close we learned that our team had placed 3rd.  Withstanding our tired eyes and aching legs, we were all thrilled that our hours of effort had paid off, and more importantly that our team was able to help raise over $3000 for this cause which hits close to home for almost everyone.  I would suggest, without a question in my mind, that everyone should have a go at this event next year, or any similar event for that matter, because it will change you.  Whether you ride a tricycle at 3km/hr or a Cervelo at 40km/hr you will dig deep to carve every corner, push up every hill and cheer on fellow friends and participants.  Plus you get to wear spandex in public, and deep down I know that everyone likes to do it.  You know who you are.</p><p>Oh, then I drove to work.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/24-hour-mont-tremblant/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Portrait de Véronique Altitude à Mont-Tremblant</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/portrait-employe-veronique-altitude-sports-monttremblant/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/portrait-employe-veronique-altitude-sports-monttremblant/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 18 Sep 2010 16:08:49 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Guests / Invités</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[The Backstore]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Arcteryx Atom LT]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mont-Tremblant]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Portrait]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=8739</guid> <description><![CDATA[Véronique Altitude se dévoile]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Véronique-1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8739];player=img;" target="_blank" title="Véronique"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8741" title="Portrait de Véronique Altitude à Mont Tremblant" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Véronique-1.jpg" alt="Portrait de Véronique Altitude à Mont Tremblant" width="576" height="576" /></a></p><p>TON SPOT À MONT-TREMBLANT :</p><p>Chez moi.</p><p>TON ACHAT FÉTICHE ALTITUDE-SPORTS.COM :</p><p>Mon Icebreaker Endeavour Hoodie.

It is cold.  What isn’t still frozen is muddy.  Skiing is over, but those -2 degree mornings keep the bike in the garage.  The age old of conundrum: what to do in-between seasons.  Up here in Tremblant there are many options when not partaking in outdoor activities.  A movie theatre on the mountain provides amusement, a delicious micro-brewery provides libations and succulent chicken burgers, <a href="http://maps.google.ca/maps/place?cid=7963314738136525036&amp;q=Altitude+Sports+Tremblant&amp;hl=en&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=src:ppiwlink&amp;ei=3LfpS46nAZWysAO7v-GBCw">Les Promenades Tremblant</a> (that’s where we are located if you have no heard yet) provides shopping of all kinds, just to name a few.  But what is a man (sic) to do athletically speaking?  The beautiful shop and its beautiful <em><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/brands/icebreaker">Icebreaker</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/brands/arcteryx">Arcteryx</a></em> and <em><a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/brands/the-north-face">North Face</a></em> products can only keep me busy five days a week.</p><p>Then it struck me.  I sell warm clothes.  Maybe if I combined my two passions: cycling and outdoor technology, I could get out my bike and start riding on those chilly days.  Straight to my wardrobe I went. <em>Icebreaker</em> 150 merino wool base layer (I like the <a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/mens-clothing/shirts/technical-shirts/mens-bodyfit-150-ultralite-ls-atlas-zip?ibd415" target="_self">Atlas longsleeve</a>), Arcteryx synthetic midlayer (definitely the <a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/mens-clothing/jackets/insulated-jackets/mens-atom-lt-jacket?7098" target="_self">Atom LT</a>) and a North Face softshell (my favourite <a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/eng/products/mens-clothing/jackets/softshells/mens-nimble-jacket?agww" target="_self">Nimble Jacket</a>) combine to make one warm, highly breathable happy camper (that’s me).  Throw in some merino socks and beanie and I’m roaring to go.  Now I just need to find 2 other people stupid enough to enjoy riding at zero degrees and I will be out the door.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-5750" href="http://altitude-blog.com/tour-arundel-laurentides-quebec-canada-tourisme-velo-cyclisme-rando/comme-des-gazelles/" title="Comme des gazelles"><img class="aligncenter" title="Arundel, QC: Where Old Meets New " src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Comme-des-gazelles-592x444.jpg" alt="Arundel, QC: Where Old Meets New " width="592" height="444" /></a></p><p><span id="more-6094"></span>Fast forward a week until the illustrious <a href="http://altitude-blog.com/author/Juan/?lang=en_us">Juan Altitude</a> arrives up North with that big grin he owns.  We are standing outside of Cycles et Sport on the main street waiting for something- courage maybe, but most probably it was Ol’ Johnny (recently crowned Hybrid King).  Once out his door, we throw our bikes in the van and head off in the direction of Arundel.  We must have been driving approximately 15 minutes before we realized <a href="http://topshotarchery.com/shop/images/awhubridking.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-6094];player=img;" target="_blank">one of us</a> had forgotten to bring his cycling shoes.  A brief 30 minutes of cursing and we were back on track.</p><p>It was cold.  It was early.  No turning back.  We got out of the car and we all thanked our respective Gods for merino wool, and windbreakers.  Although my cycling kit is much less warm because I like to sometimes choose fashion over function (see photo), I can say with assurance that I looked good in my retro kit. The cows all turned their heads when I rode by.  Perhaps because they had never seen a blue person before.<br /> I’m rambling so I will get on with it.  The reason we had all decided to get up early, under the crisp spring air, was to ride a stunning back-country road in Arundel.  Needless to say if Juan could have felt his face, he would have put his smile there.  Chemin de la Rouge, geographically speaking, will take you in the direction of Harrington, but spiritually speaking, it will take you on a journey through space and time that will fondle your very soul.</p><p>That morning we cruised through farmers fields that looked like they had not been touched since the Great Depression.  The mixture of dilapidated and working farmhouses added to the mystery and wonderment of this hidden valley adventure.  Around another innocuous corner we found a massive Buddhist temple showered with ornate and gigantic statues. Talk about a mixture of cultures just a few minutes from my backyard.  All this while being serenaded by our studded tires as they crunched under the frosty mud and our straining breath, glistening in the morning sun.  It was a delight.</p><div id="attachment_5753" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 602px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-5753" href="http://altitude-blog.com/tour-arundel-laurentides-quebec-canada-tourisme-velo-cyclisme-rando/caresse-mon-ventre/" title="Caresse mon ventre"><img class=" " title="Arundel, QC: Where Old Meets New " src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Caresse-mon-ventre-592x444.jpg" alt="Arundel, QC: Where Old Meets New " width="592" height="444" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Rub my belly!</p></div><p>What really made that day was the ability to share these moments with friends.  When Jon wasn’t tearing past us on the uphills and trying to slide his back tire out like a 6 year old, he was giggling about how cool the flowing fields were.  Juan who had come up all the way from Montreal, was keeping pace easily and constantly correcting me on my silly aerobic and philosophical questions.  He also showed us that although physics says a body sliding along gravel should slow down quickly, it is not always the case.  Apparently physics never saw Juan lay down his foot, ankle, knee and mighty body to “ease” his frame around a corner when his poor tires slid out on a patch of ice.  Forward momentum is a wonderful thing.</p><p>Go find your dirt road and jump right on in.  You never know what you are going to find on the other end.</p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/tour-arundel-laurentides-quebec-canada-tourisme-velo-cyclisme-rando/" target="_self">Lire la version de Juan Altitude de cette histoire</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/bike-ride-quebec-laurentians-arundel-dirt-road-tourism-activitie/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Coups de coeur printemps d&#8217;Amy Mont-Tremblant</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/coups-coeur-printemps-amy-mont-tremblant-north-face-icebreaker-femme-enfants/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/coups-coeur-printemps-amy-mont-tremblant-north-face-icebreaker-femme-enfants/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 04 May 2010 18:18:21 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Max Altitude</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[The Backstore]]></category> <category><![CDATA[What’s New?]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Icebreaker]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mont-Tremblant]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The North Face]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vêtements enfants]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=5888</guid> <description><![CDATA[Cette semaine, je suis allé rencontrer Amy des Boutique concepts par Altitude-sports.com à Mont-Tremblant pour connaître ses coups de coeurs du printemps pour elle et ses enfants.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Salut à tous,</p><p style="text-align: left;">Cette semaine, je suis allé rencontrer Amy des <a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/fre/aboutUs/mont-tremblant-north-face-icebreaker-arcteryx.cfm" target="_blank">Boutiques concepts par Altitude-sports.com à Mont-Tremblant</a> pour connaître ses coups de coeur du printemps pour elle et ses enfants.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><object style="width: 580px; height: 360px;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="580" height="360" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0WAGNqjaEfQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;border=1" /><embed style="width: 580px; height: 360px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="580" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0WAGNqjaEfQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;border=1" wmode="transparent"></embed></object></p><p>Pour ceux qui n'ont pas encore eu la chance de nous visiter à Mont-Tremblant, voici un petit coupon qui devrait vous donner une bonne raison de passer nous voir.

Bijou du Québec. Merveille des Laurentides. Trésor de Tremblant. Ça faisait bien des lunes que j’attendais de me marier à tes splendeurs. Des semaines, des mois, des saisons et des années que je brulais d’envie d’exploiter tes richesses naturelles.</p><p>Hahaha,  que je suis charmeur. Et vous savez, les meilleurs charmeurs sont souvent les meilleurs menteurs. J’en profite d’ailleurs pour vous dire qu’avant ma petite rando dans la contrée d’Arundel, je n’avais jamais entendu parler de l’endroit. La chose est maintenant faite. Discutons.</p><p>Je suis allé rejoindre mon ami Mark Altitude, gérant de <a href="http://www.altitude-sports.com/fre/aboutUs/mont-tremblant-north-face-icebreaker-arcteryx.cfm" target="_blank">la nouvelle boutique Altitude Sports Mont-Tremblant</a>. Tous les deux friands de vélo, on avait planifié un p’tit tour en campagne. On s’est rendu à l’excellente boutique Cycle et Sports à St-Jovite. Rendu là nous avons ajouté à notre équipe son propriétaire, Jon.</p><p>C’est ainsi que nous avons pris la route pour Arundel. J’en profite pour remercier l’aide de Jon et de son ami Chris qui m’a si gentillement prété son vélo. Une vraie beauté. Je vous épargne les détails concernant notre obligation, rendus à mi-chemin, de faire marche arrière. Il s’est avéré qu’un certain membre de notre équipe avait oublié ses souliers de vélo. Les détails que je vous épargne concernent son nom. Cela étant dit, son nom ressemble à la couleur jaune.</p><p>Mais bref, le délai n’a que rendu la balade en vélo plus désirable.</p><p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5750" href="http://altitude-blog.com/tour-arundel-laurentides-quebec-canada-tourisme-velo-cyclisme-rando/comme-des-gazelles/" title="Comme des gazelles"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5750" title="Tour dArundel" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Comme-des-gazelles-592x444.jpg" alt="Tour dArundel" width="592" height="444" /></a></p><p>Une fois arrivé sur les lieux, on s’est élancé comme des étalons. Ahh, si seulement c'était vrai. <span id="more-5742"></span>Eh bien, à vrai dire, messieurs Mark et Jon paraissait bien. De mon bord, je peinais à les suivre. En tant que bon cycliste que je suis, j’ai toute une panoplie d’excuses pour ma piètre performance, mais le bon sportif que je suis aussi sait les taire. Peu importe les performances, ce fut une excellente excursion. Du plat, il y en avait. Des pentes, il y en avait. Des virages, il y en avait. Du soleil, il y en avait. Un paysage bucolique nous a suivi tout le long du trajet. Pendant une bonne partie nous avions aussi le plaisir de suivre les courbes d’une rivière. Si vous êtes comme moi, vous serez surpris que nous avons croisé un temple bouddhiste. Mon ami Dave m’en avais parlé, mais je ne le croyais pas. Ça m’apprendra de le douter.</p><div id="attachment_5753" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 602px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-5753" href="http://altitude-blog.com/tour-arundel-laurentides-quebec-canada-tourisme-velo-cyclisme-rando/caresse-mon-ventre/" title="Caresse mon ventre"><img class="size-large wp-image-5753" title="Tour dArundel" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Caresse-mon-ventre-592x444.jpg" alt="Tour dArundel" width="592" height="444" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Caresse mon ventre</p></div><p>Nous n’avions pas trop de temps alors nous n’avons pas pu compléter la boucle arundeloise. Le chemin du retour s’est bien fait. Nous avions un bon rythme. Je me souviens que nous roulions les trois un à côté de l’autre. À un moment donné j’ai remarqué que ma vitesse de croisière a subitement ralenti par rapport à celle de mes collègues de route et même que mon corps ne faisait plus un angle approprié avec la planète. Et claque ! Je suis tombé sur une plaque de glace. Le pire c’est que j’ai continué à glisser un bon boutte après ma chute. Je suis heureux de vous annoncer que les dommages étaient purement superficiels. Comme dit le dicton, tant qu’on ne perd pas un œil, on peut en rire. Puisque ce n’est que ma dignité que j’avais perdue, laissez-moi vous dire qu’on en a bien ri.</p><p>J’ai déjà hâte d’y retourner, question de boucler la boucle, sans glissade.</p><p><a href="http://altitude-blog.com/bike-ride-quebec-laurentians-arundel-dirt-road-tourism-activitie/" target="_self">Read Mark Altitude's version of this story</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/tour-arundel-laurentides-quebec-canada-tourisme-velo-cyclisme-rando/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Hiking on Mount Onontio</title><link>http://altitude-blog.com/hiking-on-mount-onontio-quebec-hike-tourism-travel/</link> <comments>http://altitude-blog.com/hiking-on-mount-onontio-quebec-hike-tourism-travel/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:28:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Juan Altitude</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hiking]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mont-Tremblant]]></category> <category><![CDATA[québec]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://altitude-blog.com/?p=5014</guid> <description><![CDATA[Juan tells us about his Mount Onontio hike]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I wrote this, it was the first day of winter. It’s odd really, I always have the impression that our seasons are conflicting. Winter starts when the days are the shortest, but from then on, each day gets longer and longer until June 21.

At the beginning of winter, Magalie and I took advantage of the change in season and treated ourselves to a little hike, the snow not yet deep enough to need snowshoes.</p><div id="attachment_4542" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 602px"><img class="size-large wp-image-4542 " title="Hiking on Mount Onontio" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Une-moustache-est-nécessaire-afin-de-réellement-savourer-un-paysage-592x444.jpg" alt="Hiking on Mount Onontio" width="592" height="444" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The view is always better with a moustache</p></div><p><span id="more-5014"></span></p><p>In Tremblant, after visiting our friends from Altitude, we went to <a href="http://www.domainesaintbernard.org/english/welcome.html" target="_blank">Domaine St. Bernard</a>, an ecotourism community park. From there, we decided to climb up Mount Onontio. The hike was only 4 km long and not very technical, but it was truly lovely. A magnificent day, the sky was free of clouds and sparkling blue. It must have been</p><p>– 6 C: the ideal temperature for outdoor activities. Warmer than – 5 C and the snow melts and everything’s wet. Colder than – 10 and it’s too cold to be really comfortable. It doesn’t prevent you from doing activities, but it’s not ideal.</p><p>There were these super cute birds following us. People obviously feed them too much, but that didn’t change how nice it was to have them around.</p><div id="attachment_4543" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 602px"><img class="size-large wp-image-4543 " title="Hiking on Mount Onontio" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Un-peu-trop-proche-592x444.jpg" alt="Hiking on Mount Onontio" width="592" height="444" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A little too close and almost too cute!</p></div><p>At the top, we stopped to eat a little meal of ramen soup and granola bars. I love ramen soup so I was very happy to eat some in the forest with a beautiful view of Lake Tremblant.</p><div id="attachment_4544" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 602px"><img class="size-large wp-image-4544 " title="Hiking on Mount Onontio" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Soupe-ramen..-592x444.jpg" alt="Hiking on Mount Onontio" width="592" height="444" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ramen soup……mmmm…mmmm</p></div><p>Things were a little complicated going down….in a good way. The path became very steep and there were even sections where we had to hold onto ropes in order to get down.</p><div id="attachment_4545" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 602px"><img class="size-large wp-image-4545 " title="Hiking on Mount Onontio" src="http://altitude-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Savourage-de-vue-592x444.jpg" alt="Hiking on Mount Onontio" width="592" height="444" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Savouring the view</p></div><p>All in all a most enjoyable day!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://altitude-blog.com/hiking-on-mount-onontio-quebec-hike-tourism-travel/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
