BLUE MOUNTAIN WEEKEND

GO LEAFS, GO!!!
In the pic is Magnus, V and Chris. V seems more interested in the Hockey game on the TV behind than being a part of the picture.
On Saturday night we were invited to Chris & Ellen Budd for a drink. They own a "cottage" up in Blue Mountain... well to be honest it isn't exactly a cottage.... more like a castle:-) - a georgeous, giant house! Chris and Magnus know each other from work as Chris owns a Saab/Saturn dealership in Oakville.
The Staurday Night Hockey game this time showed Toronto vs. Pittsburgh. The Leafs lost with 1-7..... Hockey is BIG over here. People are fanatics when it comes to hockey and every Saturday night you can watch a regular NHL-game on prime time - don't think that would happen back home, unless it is the Olympics or World championship .

View over a part of the Blue Montain Village, seen from our hotel room.


The night between Saturday and Sunday we were up in the Cottage area, Collingwood/Blue Monutain. Saab/Salomon had an event up there and I finally got to do some snow boarding, I felt like Bambi on ice:-). Blue Montain is a really neat place and apparantley it's owned by the same company that runs Whistler Ski Resort.... too bad though that the slopes aren't at all like Whistler - more like Branäs or Sunne!
