With the mercury hitting 27 degrees over Easter weekend, many took to the slopes of the Laurentian mountains to enjoy a the best of both worlds - summer weather and fresh snow - or take part in two major competitions: the two-day Ride Shakedown event at Mont Saint-Sauveur, which attracted over 25,000 people, and the 10-day Telus Spin Festival at Mont Tremblant.

See below to watch a slideshow photo gallery, both a reminder of last weekend's unusually warm weather or a glimpse of the massive crowds and snowboarding skills that were present.

Antoine Cholette sent The Review this photo of an old International tractor parked in a field in Lefaivre. The worn red colour of the tractor acts as a nice contrast to the pale yellow and brown field.

This stunning photo of a sled-dog husky was taken by The Review freelance photographer Matthew Brown, last Saturday, January 16 at the Riceville Winterfest.

It appears, in the photo, as if the dog has two different coloured eyes - is it a trick of the light, or is it real?

In any case, the look in his eyes - dedicated, but calm - is transfixing, to say the least.

Here's a message from photographer Bodo Schmidt: "Alight at Night is up and running at Upper Canada Village. This was a rare night where the wind was low and no geese swam on the lake in front of the train."
