<Do not feed the line-eaters...> Perhaps someone out there can help... I will be spending a week in Canada next January, probably close to Quebec and Montreal. Can anyone give me any pointers as to what to do/see, how to get around, etc. in that area??? Thanks, Mark Modig ihnp4!btlunix!mom or sdcsvax!sfbug!mom P.S. I hate skiing, but enjoy other winter sports.

If you like cold (and possibly wet) weather, you'll love Montreal and Quebec City in January. I can't speak for Quebec City, but having spent the first 21 years of my life in Montreal, it can get very cold. The Laurentians are nice in winter - very picturesque, even if you don't like skiing. I'd suggest a day or two driving the secondary roads north of St. Agathe to see a bit of how it used to look. The high tech ski area has spoiled a lot of it, of course. In the city, winter is very much like any other - ice and slush. Except in the center of the city, Mt. Royal. Very nice, still uncommercial- ized. If you skate, try Beaver Lake. Bon voyage.
