Bora Boréal: Frozen in Time and Ice

  • March 14, 2023
  • Mountain Life Media
Bora-Boreal-Quebec-winter-cabin-stars
Time has stopped. Nothing moves except the treetops when the wind starts to blow. You can hear only crackling logs in the woodstove. Or is that the ice? You have no neighbours—the lake is private, and only the two Bora Boréal cottages' occupants have access to it—and there is no traffic noise.

  • March 2, 2023
  • Ned Morgan
Trees have been the principal fuel and building material of every society over the millennia, from the time hunters and gatherers first settled until the middle of the nineteenth century. Without vast supplies of wood from forests, the great civilizations of the world would have never emerged.

Close your eyes and, for a moment, imagine yourself deep in the polar regions aboard an expedition ship stuck in the ice. The white pack-ice is dazzling, and the immobile vessel seems frozen in time and space. That experience piques your curiosity, doesn't it? Without having to go all the way to Antarctica, you can experience these icy sensations 30 minutes from Quebec City in one of Bora Boréal 's two floating cottages.
@acmg.ca /IFMGA Mountain Guide and  @parks.canada Visitor Safety Specialist Steve Holeczi discusses the role of chance in mountain adventures and how to assess the unknown.
Slopes in the morning, peddles in the afternoon = balance. #mountainlifer
That’s one way to kick off the weekend 🤿❄️
