No one embraces the winter quite like those of us from northern climes—and those who live topside of the US-Canada border perhaps most of all. Rather than cursing the snow and short days, certain pilots revel instead in the transformation that snow makes, turning a lake or river into a runway, and eliciting engine performance and visibilities one only dreams of in the summer time. Many of those pilots flock each year to the Montebello Fly-In, in the village of Montebello, Quebec, where skis aren’t optional—and neither is a warm hat.
