Photo gallery: Summery weekend weather and snowboarding

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.
