La Petite Rouge
February 5-7, 1999

It was a great trip as usual.
Wonderful weather.
Great group of people. Same good provincial French cooking.
There were a few changes -- No more sleigh rides - they sold the horse!
The sleigh rides were replaced by dog sled rides and a torch walk to the Glisade and bonfire.

On Friday the trails were pure ice. Things looked bleak. But, Friday night 4 inches (woops 10 cm) of snow came to the rescue, and it snowed lightly a couple times during the day on Saturday to make the skiing on Sunday enjoyable as well.
