Pros: Express lifts, good slopes, good snowmaking, long runs
Cons: Can be cold and busy. Only 150" snow a year. Nothing too advanced
Summary: We have been to Tremblant twice (Jan '01, Jan '02) and both times it was pretty much the same. They do very well on snow amounts that barely open other resorts. This is partly due to their abundant use of snow making machines. Although they only list ... read more

Closes too early in the day

Pros: Great infrastructure, flawless runs.
Cons: Expensive, easy runs.

Pros: If you're American, the exchange rate makes for an instant discount.
Cons: Low altitude makes for poor late (and early?) season.
Summary: I have visited Mont Tremblant once and I won't be going back. It was a mixed bag for us, with some great things and some not so great things. It's certainly not a terrible place to be, but I'll spend my money going elsewhere.
