Getting There (from Toronto, Ontario, Canada):
Porter Airlines
Lodging:
Sommet Des Neiges
Total Cost:
Two people at $625/each
+ food
+ lift tickets ($80/day) bought online
Things to note
Snowboard/Ski equipment transport is included with Porter above and beyond your one checked-baggage allowance.
Airport transfer AND $35 departure fee (from Mont Tremblant) is included in your Porter Escapes package.
If you have extra luggage room and a kitchen in your lodging room, bring some food/snacks as the restaurants in the main area are expensive, including the local grocery store.
The Slopes:
Eastern Canada is known to offer icier conditions than Banff or Whistler. There are a good variety of runs ranging from beginner to competition level. Some section of the circle (easy) runs get a little flat so watch out if you’re a snowboarder as you might have to unbuckle and walk.
Food:
The main village has only pricey (but good) restaurants. No real ‘fast food’ like places if you’re looking to bootstrap it. Some good places to check out: La Fourchette du Diable, Pizzateria, and Le Shack.
Night-Life:
There’s two main bars there: Le P’Tit Caribou and Cafe d’Epoque. Cafe d’Epoque is definitely a younger crowd (drinking age is 18 y/o in Quebec).
