- Arrive between 7 and 8am. See if we can check in early. (Dan, you should call and ask about this) Drop off our stuff if we can.
9:00: Go to the mountain! Pat, and Eric need to rent skis. Here is a link regarding rentals. It's $74 for a 2-day rental. It doesn't say how much a 3-day rental is.
- Lift tickets are $198 for a 3 of 4 day package. This deal is only available online here. Everyone should look into this ASAP. Otherwise, you're going to pay a significant amount more to ski.
- 4:00: Mountain closes. So head back to the motel.
5:00 or 6:00: Eat dinner! We'll probably be exhausted. So we might want a real meal. Here is a menu of Lookout Tavern which is in the village of the resort. There are other places in the village located here. They all seem normally priced. Like, $8-$15 meals and $5 beers. Then again, we could survive on PB&J if needed.
- After dinner, hangout and sleep!

- In all seriousness, Customs does not play games. Do not speak unless spoken to. Roll down all the windows so that the guy can see in the car. No Alcohol!! Any alcohol leftover from the trip needs to be discarded. Have your passport ready and your face visible. When he asks why are we entering Canada, 'To visit some old friends in Montreal,sir.' Seriously, no games :)
- Hannah and Maple Syrup!
I'd like to mention that we might be roaming in Canada, so check with your cell phone provider for any additional charges that may incur. Also, the exchange rate is currently 1 US dollar = 1.0168 Canadian dollars. So yeah. If you want, use their ATM's to get cash out, or ask your bank about getting some Canadian dollars, eh?
