 Poster: A snowHead
|
HI,
I'm off to Whistler in 2 weeks, and on the way back I'm squeezing another bit of skiing. I'm flying in to Montreal airport at 7.05am, and I fly out that evening at 20:45. So where's best to go?
From what I've found so far, the shuttle buses to Tremblant aren't going to be any good, so it looks like I'll be hiring a car. I'm just wondering if it's worth going as far as Tremblant (which is 90mins I hear), so it may be best to stop at one of the smaller hills for a blast. Has anyone been to any of these, or hear any thing about them? Only about 200m of vertical, but for a few hours should be fine.
Any thoughts welcome
cheers
Andy

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Alternatively, you could spend a day in one of North America's nicest cities. Just saying, if you've just spent 2 weeks in Whistler, is a hectic day to ski shite really worth your while when there are other things you could be doing?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

ami, that's a good point, thanks. I've heard it's a great place. But I'm just saving the tourist stuff until the legs and knees fail completely and I can't ski! (hopefully many more years before that happens..). So until then I'll be trying to squeeze every day on a slope that I can! Cheers.

AndyHants,
check out this link - we went to Tremblant at New Year and found it really helpful - the administrator posts a full report everyday including pics. and yes, car hire is essential and you'll be on the slopes by 9.30. It looks as though the conditions have improved considerably.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Fair point, and I certianly understand your logic. I'm just saying that considering you are flying in on a red eye (judging by your arrival time) and you will have just spent 2 weeks at Whistler, skiing something that pales in comparision may be both tiresome and disapointing. I understand wanting to ski everything that can be skied, but I have also spent some great afternoons on Rue St. Denis in Montreal, and there are worse places to be.

ami in berlin, I hope it's nothing like the Rue St Denis in Paris.

AndyHants, Montreal is well worth spending some time in. Doesn't do to get too fixated, you know.
