And... begin:
First of all, I would like to say how excited I am to be completely and totally dominating Mont Tremblant with all of you in 16 days. On behalf of the entire PQ Ski Team, I would like to welcome you, in advance, to the Great White North. I have no doubts that this will be one spectacular trip. Perhaps our greatest trip ever; but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Every PQ Ski Team trip needs a proper operational title.
Therefore, without further ado, I would like to present the official name for this, the 12th Tremblant trip:
Operation Conquest
"Why Operation Conquest?", you may ask. Simple. It is because Mont Tremblant is a mountain that asks, no,
yearns to be conquered. As the official PQ Ski Team credo states, we will "Ski Hard, Ski with Authority, and we will NOT give in to the mountain." This trip is no exception.
Proper conquest is a team sport. One cannot assume victory. One cannot go it alone. Conquest requires a concerted team effort. We must stretch and redefine our boundaries as human beings.
We must constantly push forward, along even the most difficult of paths, to acheive our goals.
What are these goals I speak of?
As a team, we will conquer the trails, we will conquer the trees, we will conquer the moguls, we will conquer the Extreme Onction, we will conquer the poutine, we will conquer old ladies on the gondola, we will conquer Tom's lame Scott poles, we will conquer Le Lodge de la Montagne, we will conquer the bathrooms, we will conquer the spa, we will conquer the ski lessons, we will conquer the border patrol, we will conquer the beaver tails, and yeah, we'll even conquer frickin' Toufou. We will never surrender.
Conquest is what this team is about and what the PQ Ski Team can make YOU all about. So stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Anton Bryce.
P.S. - Tom will be bringing Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker" for daily inspirational readings.
