The Most Romantic Victorian Hotel in Quebec City

If action is your thing, imagine a skating race along some of the city’s steepest streets with a breakneck descent that would make even the most hardened daredevils think twice. Welcome to the Red Bull Crashed Ice extreme skating competition in fabulous Old Québec!

Sharpen your blades, Red Bull Crashed Ice is back. A combination of downhill skiing, hockey and boardercross, Red Bull Crashed Ice will return to the historic district of Old Québec at the end of March 2010. Last year, over 90,000 screaming fans lined the cobblestone streets as they watched 80 participants soar down the icy course.

The one-of-a-kind 550-meter urban ice track (with a 56-meter vertical drop) will wind and dive its way through the city’s historic heart. But there won’t be any time for racers to stop and taste the maple taffy as they navigate the course’s massive vertical drops, razor-sharp turns, jumps and steps, all at speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour.

I love Winter. this blessed time of the year when nature is quiet, when silence promotes meditation. I love to walk when the snow crunches under my feet and snow flakes fall gently like stars upon us; I love winter activities, the warmth of the fireplace and hot chocolate! But, what I appreciate most is a big winter storm when secure in this comfortable and warm big house, with a good book to read or, even better, snuggled with my loved one.

I wish to share with you all the beauties of Winter and the activities that make Québec the ideal place to appreciate this great season.
