Lovely photos Greig, we were there over New Year 2000/2001 and the pics took me right back. Did you try the Beaver Tails? (for those of you with dirty minds this is a thing a bit like a pancake!)
For us it was v cold (the warmest day was the last when it reached -9C. We have lots of photos in which only we would know who is who because there is no flesh showing.

It looks great, especially the last photo.

The village is pretty much what you see in the background, all the hotels are within walking distance, even the ones at the bottom of the village are close as there is a small open cable car that takes you right over the top of the village to the main gondola. (see 2nd last pic)
Nick-Those beaver tails are amazing, aleast after a hard day on the slopes it will be burnt off.
The warmest was the first few days where the temperture was sometimes +4 degrees but after that it dropped to around -8ish during the day -15 during the night, the snow making system they have is also very good, I couldn't believe what 1 night of snow making did.
Neilski-Yes, that sure is the fairmont, great hotel, just walked past the pool & hot tub and skied down to the gondola, at the end of the day we skied down Nansen which finishes right at the hotel. See picture below.

Greig, Is this an Intrawest enterprise? Looks good, we have skied Vermont before and had all the famous East coast weathers. I assume Tremblant can be just as cold and icy or does it get a different weather system?
I am planning a Feb 2008 trip for a very mixed bunch of skiers and non skiers - looks like this could be a possible venue with the pools etc. We have been to Panorama which has a similar looking pool set up which was fab ( both the resort and pools ) but a long haul by plane and car.

CP, 6.5 hr flicht from heathrow the 1.5 hr transfer to resort can be quicker than getting to the alps at half term
interwest/fortress own resort so the town is a purpose built ski resort with the many ski in ski out properties
a great resort for mixed ability groups and non skiers,every route down the hill has a hard and easy way down
the best hotel is the fairmont at the top of the village outdoor pool looks over the slopes very good at the end of the day
can be very cold but is easily managed with the right clothing
good trip research site www.kokotele.proboards18.com/index.cgi
small but great fun resort brilliant for a week

Neilski, Thanks for reply. We can do cold no problem having skied Stowe and a number of the smaller ski areas in Southern Vermont.
I will put this on the list for sure.
