  • Mont-Tremblant Is Among the Elite Eastern North American Ski Resorts
    #SKI #CANADA Go play outside In cultural Québec’s outdoor playground, Mont-Tremblant is among the elite Eastern North American ski resorts. By Crai Bower oreal forests may circle the globe, but they’re suitable for framing in Québec, Canada – home to le voyageur, sugar on Bsnow and caribou, the legendary warm-me- up concocted from red wine, whiskey and maple syrup. The Québécois embrace winter the way most of us revel in summer, by spending as much time as possible outdoors, regardless of persistent snowfall and, especially, frigid temperatures. Settled within the Laurentian Mountains at the edge of Mont-Tremblant National Park, Mont-Tremblant Resort has celebrated all things winter for 80 years, with no signs of going inside. From a winter via ferrata to village sleigh rides, your roster of outside activities appears infinite. On slope, the second oldest ski resort in North America continues to receive reliable snow – 615cm in 2018-19! There are 755-skiable acres across 101-named runs that also place Tremblant among the elite Eastern North American ski resorts. The Alterra Mountain Company ownership group recently committed US$17 million to on- and off-piste improvements. A new high-speed quad now whisks you away to the popular North Side area. And, because North Americans are nuts for glade/tree skiing, Tremblant added five new glade runs over a 20-hectare area in the advanced Edge area. Alterra also expanded the primary base lodge, Le Grand Manitou, adding 400 more seats and redesigning the food service area. La Fourchette du Daible, the North Side lodge, is also larger and much improved.
