Skiing Nr. Three - The Best

Yesterday I finally went to ski to Mt.Tremblant. It is located in the Laurentides, mountains, less than two hours drive from Montreal towards north. Everything what happened yesterday was just perfect. First came the welcome delegation.

I always caught one at the time, but there were three who came to welcome me. Does?

The resort itself is huge. I only ski from twelve till four and I was not able to try all slopes in this location. Compare to the other two I went to, Mt.Tremblant is made to spent at least long weekend there.

It is good to be local and have the opportunity to save some money with buying long period ticket. The price for half day skiing (including ski rental) was 98 CAD. Bit too much for 4 hours.

Here the ticket price list at the cashier - without tax.

I like the way people are transported from the village centre to the lifts.  I am not sure whether I would use the Cabriolet during cold, cloudy and rainy day, but I had gorgeous weather.  Only because of my friend MartyMontana I must mention that Volkswagen supports Cabriolet. Do I connect cabriolet with Volkswagen? Not really. The idea is excellent. Same as in Europe, you see BMW promoting their cars in mountains. Here Volkswagen took over.

Cabriolet for good weather days only, same like the car.

As in other resorts, Mt.Tremblant is, except of one cabin lift, equipped with chair lifts only. Whatever transport, this is the top. Full of people who always disappeared somewhere. It was not so crowded on the slopes.

 My recommendation is - if you are around Montreal in the winter do not miss the chance to go skiing to Mt.Tremblant. Skip the other resorts and start at Mt.Tremblant. I believe you will come back, as the service, location and slopes are the best. Even the catering is better. At least you can select what restaurant you want to go to.
