Thanks Anthony. It may be a bit busier since it is Ontario school break this week but around here it seems people either head to Tremblant or Vermont, with Le Massif getting a lot of visits. The weather is looking decent, below freezing Wed. night and getting cooler through the weekend so...

Hi, We are going to Mont Orford in the Eastern Townships on Friday for the first time and wondered if anyone knew what kind of crowds are typical there for a weekday? Many thanks.

Wow. That was stunning. Those lads are in great shape and I will never grumble about a bit of flat at the top of a lift! I love the digital technology that makes it possible for anyone to share great experiences.

No kidding. The kdis and I have been looking forward to the week for ages and I'm just freaking out over the weather forecast. Looks like it will be cooling down later in the week but Monday was going to be our first trip to Tremblant. Don't know if it will be worth it.

Thanks for the feedback Frankontour. Sounds like a nice change from Edelweiss, which is definately in the category of small local hill with very limited number of runs, half green, and a lot of flat/dips between drops. Fine for the kid's lessons and a few turns, but after a winter of it we are...

Yup, that was in my post. The nice thing is it is actually good during March break, and that seems to be as good as it gets with Tremblant. I had lunch with my daughter's instructor yesterday and he recommended Mont Blanc. Said he really like the terrain and will often go there instead of...

For anyone near the Ottawa area, there is a 2 for 1 Mont Tremblant coupon in the March 1 Ottawa Citizen (City section) and Le Droit newspapers. It is good for Monday to Wednesday for the rest of the season. Edit - found this link with the coupon as well...

Thanks. I look forward to picking your brains and experience since you can relate things to a hill I am familiar with! I have really just clicked in this season on how much skiing there is within a few hours of Ottawa. P.S. If your a Senators fan, http://www.sensnetwork.com is a great...

For a 3 year old at his first trip to a ski hill, I think he did well going down the hill that much anyway. Think of all the sensory input and new stuff for him to see and explore, for him, why should skiing be a higher priority?

Thanks very much. Great to see someone from the area on this board. I'm back into skiing this season after a looong time away and really enjoying it.

Same in the Ottawa region last weekend. I was at Edelweiss Saturday morning while my kids were in lessons and there wasn't any bare ice. Groomer granualar and a few ice rocks/pebbles in spots, but better than I expected. Most hills closed on Friday so that may be why. It was fairly cold...
