*** SPRING SKIING REVIEW ** I skied 3 of the last 5 days of the 20/21 season (Apr 8-10) and let me tell you, So. much. fun. This was my very first time here, and my first time skiing so late in the year. Just from the limited terrain I ran (only about 45% was open), it is a real skiers hill. Plenty of widely varied terrain, narrow techy shoots to steep moguled runs to wide open groomers. CONDITIONS: Mornings were good, especially on the Northside, but conditions deteriorated quickly once noon rolled around. Afternoons saw puddles, dirty snow, ice patches and extended grass spots. Additionally, It was VERY MOGULED, which I guess is expected this late in the season. Many of the main runs were no longer groomed, though they do top up snow each day with snow (slush) from other areas to keep things skiable, but it also adds to some of the lumpiness. Weaker skiers will have a hard time navigating many of the blues and even some green runs due heavy sluff and moguls. Wouldn't recommend it for a first time experience (better to learn on proper snow). Unfortunately for the more advanced there weren't any glades available at all due to snow melt, but the moguls and other 'features' (rocks and grass) kept things interesting. LIFT LINES: Weekdays were a breeze, never had any issues with long waits (I am pretty impatient). Saturday was much busier but honestly still pretty reasonable, other than the mid mountain lifts (Thomas and TGV) which lined up more frequently, Thomas had a 20min+ wait at one point. I noticed the operators take a very laissez faire approach to directing line traffic, different from Blue Mountain and other hills that have lifties directing the various lines to manage traffic and keep things equitable. OVERALL: I am a fairly confident skier, and honestly I loved every minute of Spring skiing at Tremblant. I was giggling like a baby the whole way down on many runs. There was lots of opportunities to challenge myself and charge hard and fast, I can't even imagine a powder day here, that would be epic. Will be back with my Ikon pass next winter for a more proper introduction!

2023/2024 The New Year’s Eve celebration at Mont Tremblant in Quebec has always been a highlight of the year, but this year’s event left much to be desired, particularly in its signature attractions. The evening’s skiing display, usually a stunning visual treat, lacked its usual flair. The ski-down with flares, a tradition that typically lights up the hill in a beautiful procession, seemed muted. The expected participation of ski instructors and other elements that add to the spectacle were conspicuously absent, diminishing the overall impact of this beloved feature. A major disappointment was the omission of the groomers’ dance - a unique and much-anticipated performance. In the past, this ballet of ski machines on the slopes has been a crowd favorite, showcasing an inventive blend of machinery and artistry. Its absence this year was keenly felt, taking away a part of what makes Mont Tremblant’s New Year’s celebration distinct and memorable. Additionally, the lack of fireworks was a significant letdown. Fireworks have traditionally been the grand finale of the evening, lighting up the sky and marking the start of the New Year with awe and excitement. Their absence this year was not just noticeable, but it also dampened the festive spirit of the event. While the resort is renowned for its spectacular New Year’s Eve parties, this year’s event failed to deliver the unique and special experiences that guests have come to expect. Given the reputation of Mont Tremblant and the investment made by its guests, the celebration should have been more impressive. In conclusion, while there were some enjoyable aspects, the event was a shadow of its former self without its signature ski display, groomers’ dance, and fireworks. It might be time to explore other festive options that can offer the excitement and uniqueness that Mont Tremblant’s New Year’s Eve celebration used to provide.

Amazing place in both the summer and winter seasons mainly due to natural scenery and beautiful landscapes. If you're from Ontario and familiar with Blue Mountain, just know that the Tremblant area is not as developed as Blue Mountain so there's not much to do outside the village. ACTIVITIES ••••••••••• Tremblant has some good activities for the kids highlighted by an indoor water park (Aqua Club), and a downhill go kart style ride (Luge) and a beach area on Lac Tremblant. The Luge is by far the best summer activity for adults and kids over 6. Even younger kids can go but will likely have to ride with an adult. ACTIVITY CARDS ••••••••••••••••• IMO, it's probably not worth buying an Activity Card - something heavily promoted by official Tremblant.ca website and their call centre travel agents. The reason is that you can only use the Activity Card on select activities and only one time for the Luge i.e. if you have a 5-Activity Card, you can not use it for Luge more than once. It's too bad because you'll definitely want to go on Luge more than once. I'd suggest buying a multi-ride Luge ticket instead. There's a 12-ride Family pass for the Luge which may be a good option and definitely the best value for the money. IMPORTANT: Activity Cards and Tickets are non-transferable. I witnessed a family trying to use the same Activity Card for 2 kids and weren't allowed. Lac Miroir: Any activity listed on Lac Miroir e.g. Captain's Harbour is a huge disappointment, even for a 2-year old. It's a complete waste of time and money. Think of it as a pond and a dirty one rather than a lake. There's lots of other activities for the kids which are not covered by the Activity Card so if you're buying an Activity Card, do some research beforehand.

We have loved vacationing at your campsite with our family for a couple of years, and this time we came for a weekend together with another family, renting two adjacent sites, 5 on one site and 4 on another. On the first day of our stay, two of your rangers visited us to check the setup of our tents, tarps, and tables. They didn't find any issues and reminded us that playing music is not allowed in the park, also warning that the park is quiet after 11 PM. This was just a polite reminder as we had not violated any rules, after which they left. The next day after lunch, another ranger arrived and demanded that we move one of our tents because it was on fallen dry leaves, which supposedly harms the environment. I remind you that the day before, no issues were raised about this! We moved the tent as requested. However, around 8 PM, this ranger returned in a very unfriendly manner and insisted that our table was also on vegetation and we must immediately move it. To our surprise, we pointed out that there was nothing under the table but dry soil. She then changed her reason and declared that we had crossed the site boundary and must move the table by... 50 centimeters! When we asked how she determined the site boundaries so precisely, she replied that they were marked with yellow markers on the ground. When we questioned why the fire pit was outside her marked boundaries, she struggled to explain and finally said that our site was special... During her visit, we were having dinner under a small rain shelter over our table. According to the weather forecast they expected rain and storm, and all the sites around us turned out to be empty. We told the ranger that there was a rain and storm warning, and if we moved the table, half of it would end up in the rain, and we wouldn't be able to finish dinner, but she continued to demand that we move the table by 50 centimeters... Only after she couldn't justify why the fire pit was outside her marked boundaries did she leave... Shortly after, another ranger appeared and rudely demanded that the neighboring family, with whom we rented the adjacent site and were dining together, immediately move 2 meters towards their own site, despite all the closest sites around ours being completely empty. In a rude manner, he also demanded that we 'be quiet,' despite us not making any noise when asked. We were very disturbed and upset by this completely unjustified bias against us. We weren't making noise, breaking any park rules, or disturbing our neighbors. It felt like, for some reason that day, the rangers targeted us for outright bullying! I want to say that our entire group very often vacations at camp sites, and we were never tortured with complaints like we were here. This has never happened anywhere else!

There are two parts to OKA...a campground that includes a beach area and a hiking trail along the Oka Mountain. If you follow route 344 towards Oka (in the direction TO the ferry across the Ottawa river) then the campground is to the left (on Chemin des Collines) while the hiking trail is to the right on Chemin du Calvaire. The two streets form a "+" intersection. We visited the hiking trail so our review is related to that part of Oka only. OKA is about 30-40 minutes by car north west of Montreal...about 10 minutes west of St. Eustache on route 344 and bordering the north side of the Ottawa river. There is a FEE to access the hiking trail. It is on a per person basis ($9.95 for adults and a bit less for youths). There is a fairly large parking lot so it should not be an issue unless on a peak, warm summer day (we visited in mid-November in the morning and it was relatively quiet). The trail essential follows a circuitous route around the mountain with a trail to the peak that has a nice overlook of Oka park towards the campground and river. The total circuit is about 6km in total with assorted interconnecting trails. Overall it is a beginner-intermediate trail with a few steep inclined route but otherwise fairly simple. Overall its a nice park that is relatively close to the city and worthy of a visit. Enjoy!

Perfect for a quick hike, bike or snowshoe trek, although one should not expect extravagant wildlife sightings; the best I've had are close-range woodpeckers and herons, and lots of animal track to, well, track, in the winter. The bike paths here are relatively smooth and offer some hills, conquerable by all but no challenge to a seasoned cyclist on a decent bike. Hiking trails are all very easy. Snowshoeing can be tedious at times but having a trail planned beforehand helps avoid the paths with less snow. Places not to miss are Lac de la Sauvagine and the sightseeing tower close to La Grande Baie. One can call the Park's phone number to get snow depth & condition information which is great for snowshoers and skiiers. Staff is very hit-or-miss, either rude and bossy or passionate about the trails and park, which is why I recommend avoiding them when possible, and entering by the round-about near Aut. 640 in summer (always had nice staff there). Cell service is good in the whole area. In winter, layer according to wind and precipitation more than temperature since the lake is nearby and winds can be nasty; in summer, bring 30% DEET and apply as much as you can without risking your health. Camping opportunities exist close-by if you'd rather avoid situations like the camping reviewers described.

Oka beach and their campgrounds are great! Oka camping: we did our first ever camping with our three year old and it went so well! The campground we had was spacious and had water and electricity! With a fire pit 🔥 We were able to hook up our phones and air mattress and use the outlet right by our tent to inflate it! We used the water spout (which every camping unit in our area had , electricity box as well) and used it to rinse ourselves and drink! The campground we were in was not very secluded and yet I really didn’t care, it was so nice to be in nature and everyone around kept to themselves yet were very polite ☺️ The beach was accessible by walking or by car! Okay beach: 🏖️ beautiful beach but very busy! Be sure to get there by opening or close to 8am to get a good spot to sit if you want the lake view. If not it starts to fill in immensely by noon on a Saturday and Sunday. You can do kayak, paddle board and peddle boat! (Which you have to pay for.) They have a large inflatable jungle gym for kids 6yrs + Mans there’s washrooms and changing rooms, a little boutique shop at the center of the beach and kids park in the area. Really a great weekend spent!

Kayaking in Oka National Park is a peaceful way to explore the park from the water. As you paddle through the bay’s calm waters, you’ll glide past wetlands, forests, and open spaces while observing the Laurentian landscape. Kayak and paddle board rentals are available at the Visitors Centre at the beach. Hiking the Grande Baie trail in Oka National Park is a perfect way to get deeper into nature and farther away from (other) people. As you hike this trail, you’ll find a mix of easy, flat sections and slightly more challenging parts, making it a great option for all skill levels, small children included. The trail is well-marked and maintained, so you can take your time enjoying the scenery, bird spotting and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. One of the trail’s standout features is the boardwalk, which takes you right over the wetlands, offering an up-close view of this environment. The day we visited, August 15th, some autumn hues were already in the leaves!
