Come cheer for this legendary team at the Bell Centre with the Hockey Night package bookable with your stay at the HI-Montréal Youth Hostel. Triple toe jump! Speaking of skating, if you prefer Joannie Rochette to Cammalleri, you might enjoy more an evening at the Old Port rink or the one on Beaver Lake. If you are not a skater well bring your score board and give 10/10 to everybody! My my… is that a spoon in your pants or are you really enjoying that hot chocolate? Suite 88 on St-Denis Street serves the BEST hot chocolate in Montréal if not the Galaxy. Words like addictive liquid and eternal happiness come to mind when drinking this hot stuff… yeah it’s that good. The place could be more comfy but the hot liquid will make you forget about it.

QUEBEC

Carnaval de Québec
Want to warm up your inner «woodsman»? Then hit the Carnaval de Québec where the very flexible Bonhomme Carnaval will warmly greet you while kicking the air with his energic leg. Advice: don’t directly face him!!
Dogs sleigh race, horse race, ice canoe race are on the program with so many other activities to do when it’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey! Drinking up a shooter of caribou will definitely get you steamin'.

Red Bull Crashed Ice 2011
The temperature is going down quickly during winter in Quebec city, so does the participants of the Red Bull Crashed Ice 2011. This is where you’ll see some «i’m a little crazy» skaters paded like hockey players dashing down huge iced slopes. Nothing could be more quebecker than that, in our opinion. It’s held in Old Quebec so inbetween 2 races, you’ll have time to admire the old city covered in snow.

Jambo what?
For the snowboarders addict, Quebec city and the Stoneham touristic station will be welcoming in February the Snowboard Jamboree 2011 and the Big Air LG/FIS World cup, the Stairsmasters and the Fashion Jam.
Go get some fresh air, some Big Air!
