SKi-Quebec Gala!!!

Upon my early arrival back from Europe, I was happy to see that fall was still in the air!!

The season of colourful leaves rustling in the wind... and juicy pomegranates! 

 Leaves are covering the ground, making everything light up with the colours.

Even though I missed fall in the Laurentians, at least there is some left in the city still!!

Fall is also the season of Gala's!  Ski-Quebec-Alpin hosted their gala last night and Mitch, MP, Eve and I got ready together!!!

MP was the official hair stylist!!

And Mitch was in charge of makeup!  TEAMWORK!! on and off the hill!! haha

MP working the iron magic!

The final products!! Merci MP et Mitch!

Our little dressed up trio!  It's one of the only "ski" related nights of the year where we all dress to impress!

It was a great fundraiser highlighted with Gen's retirement montage!!  There was lots of reminiscing and lot's of looking forward to the season ahead!!  Gen's career was inspirational and hopefully someday I will have some amazing results like hers to look back on!

Here are Gen Simard, Marie-Michele Gagnon, me, Sophie, MP Prefontaine and Emilie Desforges!

Mitch and MP being Zen with the blue curtains......

And then the whole half crew!!

Louis-Pierre Helie, Eve Routhier, me, Marie-Pier Prefontaine, Erik Guay, Marie-Michele Gagnon and Ryan Semple!  There's a couple missing but it's really cool to see how many of us on the National team are from Quebec.  I guess we don't mind freezing temperatures, we like skiing on ice and don't get distracted by powder days (since they pretty much don't exist...), and we love racing!!! There's so much support in Quebec and some really great programs; nights like last night really highlight the fact that Quebec is doing something RIght!!  Now that I am looking closely at this pic, this is only half of the Quebec contingent of the Canadian team who was present last night at the gala...I guess it just happened that the seven of us were leaving at the same time.... so yeah, we are cool.

Missing are Britt Phelan, Dustin Cook, JP Roy, Francois Bourque, Julien Cousineau and Vic Stevens (prospect...).

Anyway I am boarding a flight to RENO!! last stop in Truckee before next spring!
