Club Trips: Mont Tremblant

The UWO Ski Club is very happy to announce our second trip for the 2007 ski season, and our first ever trip to Mont. Tremblant, Quebec. Located an hour or two northwest of Montreal, Tremblant considers itself to be the #1 skiing destination in Eastern North America. While it’s not quite “Whistler East”, Tremblant makes up for its ‘lack’ of height (a vertical drop of 2,116ft., or 3 Blue Mountains) through an impressive amount of sprawl; stuffing 94 runs, 13 lifts, 885 snow guns, and roughly a billion condominiums and chalets across its broad north and south faces. On our trip you’ll have 4 full days to explore this expansive winter wonderland.

As for accommodations, you’ll be enjoying five nights at the fancy, four-star, Plaza St-Bernard Tremblant hotel. Located right in the heart of the pedestrian village at Tremblant, the Plaza St-Bernard is within a few hundred feet of the gondola and comes with free access to the Aquaclub, a facility with a pool, hot tubs and a sauna.

While spending March Break at Tremblant may not be quite as wild and crazy as say Daytona Beach, or New Orleans… with just about every alpine-interested university/collegiate group in the Northeast headed there, the place should be rocking. As such, good times can be reasonably assured.

You can find out more about Mont. Tremblant on their official web site, and can expect more details about this trip to be published in the coming weeks.
