Barbegazi

I headed back to the Olympic Park this afternoon to check out the Barbegazi winter sports fest. This is the second edition (I missed last year) where skiers, boarders, snowmobilers, and lumberjacks take over the Esplanade Financière Sun Life at Olympic Park.

I was most interested in getting some shots of the freestyle snowmobile action.

Although there wasn’t a snowskate competition taking place while I was there, a couple of guys were practicing their rail skills…

Although the lumberjack’s were competing, unfortunately I didn’t get any great shots . So I’ll have to return next year when they pick up the axe again.
