17 January 2023 Skiing on Mont Royal

 The snow took a long time coming to Montreal this winter, but the MBC members met on the 17 January 2023 to have a first club ski on Mont Royal.  We followed a tradition of coffee first, unfortunately the Smith House Cafe is not open and we met instead at the Chalet.  A.T.'s thoughts soon turned to what video effects he might try when writing up the minutes.

Louis Rubenstein announced that for the winter, he wants to use the Lars Rubenstein sobriquet which he feels suits the season better.  This along, with how best to repair his broken pole, generated some discussion around the table.

Once we started skiing the discussion moved from Lars to Owls.  Tibby showed us where he had seen and owl last year, but we were informed that the bird had déménagé.

 

 After all this owl talk, some of the members stopped by the Beaver Lake Chalet and decided it was the best place to meet for future ski Fixtures on Mont Royal.

 

At this Chalet, A.T. talked about using Shot Cut to edit videos, thinking about making a  zoom in effect on the medals on W.G. Ross.

But enough about playing around in Shot Cut.  As A.t. headed down Chemin Olmsted towards Parc Avenue and the 80 bus home, he bumped into Alice Hawkins.
