I just got back from tremblant last weekend and some advice. DO NOT STAY IN THE SAME HOTEL AS THE SKI TRAVEL GROUP (the person taking your reservation will know about them). They take high schoold trips from dc area every weekend to tremblant. I was on one of their trips and had a great time, skiied all day, but especially as a family with young kids I would not want to be in the same hotel and felt sorry for anyone that was or wanted to get sleep at night. I skiied all day so I stayed clean, but their was alot of alchohol, and weed, so much that the hallways reaked of it (the drinking age in canada is 18, the seniors on the trip were 18 - go figure). Also, there is a gondola that goes through town, and a slope that winds through town, so anywhere with access to the slope, you can just ski down through the town and take the mini gonodola up to the top of the town where the actual ski slopes start.
