Bonjour Powder Freaks and Half Pipe Legends

Well, I am currently all DEPRESSED and sitting in a Chalet at Mont Joye just outside Magog in Quebec surrounded by loudarsed school kids and I’m absolutely SPEWING because Avril is out having fun and carving up the slopes with her snowboard ALONE since I am WAY TOO INJURED to snowboard today.

Dudes… I currently have tendonitis in my left shoulder that I dislocated, radial head sprains to both forearms, a bruised sacroiliac joint on my arse, a wry neck, bruised patellas on both knees AND sciatica in my lower spine from 2 weeks of snowboarding… and I STILL deliberately had to leave my snowboarding equipment at home so I wouldn’t be tempted to get back on the slopes today since I am now TOTALLY ADDICTED to snowboarding!!!

So anyhows, I thought I’d take this opportunity to reach into my inner child again to fill you in on our latest snowboarding adventures since this has been MORE than just a snow addiction…

…it’s actually been a COOL story about Ced & Avril and how the obsession of being COOL lead to the origin of a NEW superhero!!! Continue reading →

Bonjour Snow Bunnies and Ice Queens

Well, we are currently in Canada in a rural town called Magog in the eastern townships of Quebec sort of between Montreal and Quebec City… and we’ve just come inside after taking pictures of ourselves in a blizzard with 100km winds and minus 27 degrees so we thought we’d take the opportunity thaw out and catch up with our travel blog.

Dudes… Canada ROCKS!!! This is our third time to Canada and second time to Quebec, and we always love coming here even though all our pink bits have shrivelled from the cold…

Of all the countries that we’ve been to, we love the Canadian outdoor lifestyle the most, and the sheer rugged beauty of all the mountains and lakes in the country is simply stunning… not to mention, i’s great to be hearing good music again after all the top 40 shite on Irish and UK radio stations!!!

Not only that, but we always find that Canadians are the closest in personality to Aussies, which is cool since we reckon that if ever Australia was to be taken over by ALIENS, then Canada would be the only other place in the world that we would live…

And we’d have to seriously consider moving to Quebec since our Lonely Planet guidebook describes Quebecois as being bigger drinkers and smokers than the average Canadian and also more likely to take a day off work to have sex which is ALWAYS cool in our book!!!!

Anyways, Quebec right now is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous and a completely white winter wonderland… and the town that we are staying in is situated on Lac Mempremagog which is a spectacular large frozen lake with a big Loch Ness type sea monster in it… which by the way is VERY COOL because we find that Monsters From The Deep ALWAYS tickle our tentacles and testicles… Continue reading →
