Classic Photo for 2/23
Today's classic Operation Mayhem photo should simply be called "smelling salts". It is a study of contrasts and an example of a world gone... okay, it's just Capt. Tom sniffing a salt shaker. However, this is the first in a long series of lunchtime photos where food, beer, and odd poses combine to make photographic magic.
This particular photo was taken at the summit lodge. In the very early days of Tremblant, La Diable was not yet a known entity. Even after it became an Apres Ski staple, we did not always have lunch there every day. Before the metric lunch, there was lunch in the summit lodge. After a long, hard morning of skiing, there was a quick lunch (yes, with beers - Molson Canadian was the beer of choice at this point) and then off to ski for the rest of the afternoon.
Fortunately, this wouldn't last and La Diable would become the lunch spot of choice. However, it is fun to look back on these pictures and remember the spot where Scotty would complain about leaving early and wanting to go to Gore Mountain instead.

Wow, I'm rocking my absolutely shredded Miller Lite hat (circa '95) and my old navy blue Harrison & Star sweatshirt, which was a staple of my base layers for some time.
I'll never forget how much fun it was those first few days, to drink beer at lunch in a ski mountain cafeteria.
...and yes, Scotty did use these daily respits to persuade us to leave Cananda early to ski at Gore Mountain.
Hence, like a virgin.

Please do not forget that this mountain top lodge was where I first introduced you to poutine.
