It's been a little while since posting any updates from Montreal, so thought it might be helpful to start with a few local, small businesses that I have had a chance to work with.

• The Community Business Network (networking for small companies and home based businesses)
• Brand X Promotions
(custom marketing and promotions company serving greater Montreal and Ottawa)

• Zee Company (Montreal's first authentic barbeque catering service)
• Apnee Sante (Sleep center serving Montreal's off island area)

Just 40 kilometres west of Montréal, Québec is an area called La Pinière, a pine forest which includes the Base de Plein Air des Cèdres. Beautifully groomed ski trails for both classic and skating cross several ravines, and this day towards the end of January the skiing conditions were just fantastic. The bonus of winter time is the ability to enjoy outdoor snow sports!

Monday and Tuesday, I did my first cross-training sessions in preparation for May's Cabot Trail Relay Race, celebrating the (relatively) mild weather of -10 degrees Celsius to use the cross country ski loop in Les Cedres. Monday I went on my own for the full 9.5km loop, and yesterday was a gorgeous day so Elizabeth joined as well. The snow and trees were beautiful, hardly a breath of wind, and the ski tracks had been done earlier that morning and were smooth and fast. Hopefully we'll have more mild days and I'll post better photos of the Base de Plein Air des Cèdres.
