Hello everyone,

I do not recommend going to Mont Tremblant to do the alpine ski because of the multiple problems with their chair's lifts.

This 2008 year the chair lifts had not been maintained well: 1 chair lift stopped for 6 hours and the people had been removed from these chairs on the ropes.

Another chair's lift stopped for 1.5h, fortunately, it had been repaired after 1.5h. The stuff said that this lift had the mechanical problems.

I think it is unacceptable to keep people so long on the chair’s lifts

Went sking on the easter weekend, big mistake, very overcrowed, On friday they had the north side closed all morning, the new side Versol was closed, they blamed the weather, I guess they forgot that it was winter time. i won't be going back anytime soon and will not recommend it to anyone.

Good Mountain. The best I have been on on the east coast for certain. However, it is an expensive and deceptive mountain as well. We went for school break. We anticipated getting the buy 2 get 3 day deal they had going on. When we got there we were told that was only for Quebec students and not US students. The drinking age in many of the bars in the village was 21 which was fine for me, but not for many of the people I was with. The skiing was great in the mornings but it got pretty bumped up and really icy in the afternoons. Overall I felt like it was a pretty good mountain. I was dissapointed in the tree skiing though. I guess the good stuff can only be found out west. Snow fall was good while we were there but we were also told they had been getting more than normal. We drove a 18 hours to get there. I think next year I will just buy the plane ticket and head west.

We visit the Tremblant area regularly. The skiing is excellent there but depending on when you go it can get very cold on the big mountain. We like to go up during President's Day weekend becasue the resorts in the US are usually packed at that time. The Village is great to visit but I do not like to stay there. It can be very noisy at night as the bars stay open till all hours. We found a great little boutique hotel on Trip Advisor called Chateau Beauvallon. It has great service and is located between Tremblant and Gray Rocks. Their valet will pick you up and drop you off right at the mountain. The area up there is great. I find that the people are extremely friendly everywhere we go. We also like the Tremblant area in the summer time. It's a little bit expensive now because of the Canadian and US dollars are at a state of parody but it is still a good value and a great place to visit.

This resort used to be a gem. Overbuilding by the developer, IntraWest has created long lift lines, and with the weak US dollar, it is no longer a bargain.

Still has long runs, with many options for all levels, but be prepared to open your wallet, on or off the mountain.

Staff is bilingual, friendly, and helpful. If you are renting equipment, and an intermediate level or higher, rent off the mountain. Equipment is adequate at best.

Probably still the best skiing in the east!
