Need to ski but ain't got a ride to the mountain? Wanna make gas savings? Carpooling is the way to go.

saving the environment = SICK
skiing = RAD

saving the environment + skiing = carpooling

thus, carpooling is RAD TO THE POWER OF SICK.

Hey if anyone heads up to Avila or Tremblant on a regular basis I'd be interested ... and able to provide some $ for the lifts if needed.

Je ride a Avila, l'an passé j pense que j'étais la à comme strictement tous les samedi + un soir de semaine dependamment des horraires de cours. Dépendament des horraires d'école et de job je pense refaire la même chose. Shu dessendu pas mal tout seul la plupart du temps et y'a pas mal 3 ou 4 places ds mon char avec l'équipement.

J'habite sur la rive sud (mercier/chateaugay), j va l'UdeM, toot mes amis sont ds le west-island, ma blonde a vaudreuil, c'est les 4 places d'ou je peux partir pour skier alors je suis pas mal pres de presque tout ds mtl.

Le gaz c'est cher et chiant à payer si y'en a qui veulent des lifts hésitez pas!!

I only have ibe class on fridays, finish at 12 so im planning on heading to avila on a regular basis with summersover, anyone interested let me know. We would leave montreal around 1230-1 do some afternoon/night skiing and then come back the same day in time to do some partying or whatever you please!

We should hit up my cottage on Friday nights after skiing, it's 10mins away from avila, we can play some pool, have a few drinks and I'd really like to some sort of setup on the side of my place, I have so much room to work with.

looks like some friends and I are gonna do the Bromont pass for after 3 pm on weekends and all day weekdays and just do alot of night skiing in the park. We have a car and may have room at times, im not really sure yet cause its not my car. We are all mcgill students and live around the ghetto.

Anyone know when Bromont opens? Or when and where we can hit some early season rails?

Yooo to anyone who's interested I live on the south shore and i'm probably gonna be hitting St-Bruno on tuesday and thursdays since I don't have class.

If you're at mcgill join the mcgill freestyle club.
If you wanna go ride don't hesitate to send a message to the group admins (Adrien, David or Jon) and we might set something up if you've got a couple people down to come.
As soon as winter semester kicks in though we'll be heading down to bromont every week (or more if anyone's interested) and it should be pretty epic!

I just won a GoPro btw, so to all mcgill freestyle members out there we will get some epic footage all season long!

Cheers

I can drive 2 people to Bromont, weekends for the presque-tout-temps pass. PM me. I live in Lachine.

BTW if you go often enough the lifties get to know you and then you can just ski all day on the weekends with the PPT pass.
