Mont Tremblant
305 hectares, 102 runs in the Laurentians. Purpose-built pedestrian village, Eastern Canada's top resort, Ikon Pass.
Mont Tremblant's summit reaches 875 metres, dropping 645 vertical metres to a base at 230 metres across 102 runs spread over roughly 305 hectares in the Laurentians, Quebec. Terrain splits 37 per cent advanced, 30 per cent intermediate, 19 per cent beginner and 14 per cent expert, with average annual snowfall of roughly 3.5 metres. The resort carries Ikon Pass affiliation. Fourteen lifts, including seven quad chairs and three gondolas, serve the mountain alongside one triple chair and three surface lifts.
Mont Tremblant holds a distinguished place as Eastern Canada's leading ski resort, built around a purpose-designed pedestrian village widely regarded as one of the most successful mountain-village developments in North America. Its considerable scale for the Laurentians, combined with a genuinely varied terrain mix, has built Tremblant's reputation as Quebec's premier four-season destination.
Jo Ryan opened Mont Tremblant Lodge in February 1939, developing a resort that included a summer beach and tennis club alongside 16,500 acres of mountain terrain leased from the Quebec provincial government. Mary Ryan continued operating the resort until selling it to a group of Montreal businessmen in 1966, and ownership changed hands several times over the following fifteen years.
Intrawest acquired Mont Tremblant for an estimated 22 million Canadian dollars in 1991, its first resort purchase after Blackcomb, and invested 48 million Canadian dollars between 1991 and 1995, lifting daily capacity from 8,500 to 14,500 skiers. The company's purpose-built pedestrian village, designed by Eldon Beck, the same architect behind Vail and the original Whistler Village, remains central to the resort's identity. Adult daily tickets run from 149 to 179 Canadian dollars.
Mont Tremblant is the largest area in this batch, with 102 runs over roughly 305 hectares and a vertical of 645 metres, from 230 to 875 metres. Grading is 19% beginner, 30% intermediate, 37% advanced and 14% expert, so more than half the terrain is steep. Seven quad chairs, a triple, three gondolas and three surface lifts connect four distinct sides of the mountain: the South Side, North Side, Soleil and the Edge. It is a lower-vertical mountain by global standards, yet the scale and variety stand out in eastern Canada, and it carries the Ikon Pass.
The Edge and upper North Side hold the harder lines, with Dynamite often described as the steepest run on the hill and Expo a firm test when the moguls build up. The Edge also offers natural terrain and glades for skiers who want something less groomed. Soleil has sunnier, flowing blues with wooded surrounds, and the South Side is the quick option from the pedestrian village. Cold snaps can leave the surface hard and fast, so keep your edges tuned. Tremblant suits strong intermediates and advanced skiers wanting variety, plus families who want the village on the doorstep.
The 2025-26 season at Mont Tremblant ran from 27 November 2025 to 12 April 2026, a roughly nineteen-week season supported by average annual snowfall of around 3.5 metres. Season dates can shift depending on early and late-season weather in the Laurentians.
Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions to Tremblant's varied, advanced-weighted terrain. As an Ikon Pass resort, Tremblant draws substantial visitation from pass holders alongside destination travellers seeking the resort's genuinely developed pedestrian village.
Tremblant's purpose-built village continues to draw considerable visitation for its dining, shopping and nightlife alongside the skiing itself. School holiday periods bring substantial family visitation given the resort's varied terrain and considerable four-season amenities.
Specific event programming beyond standard operations is not confirmed in available resort information. Since Intrawest's 1991 acquisition, Tremblant has continued building on more than eight decades of history since Jo Ryan's 1939 founding. The resort's status as Eastern Canada's leading ski destination remains central to its enduring reputation.

Mont Tremblant sits in the Laurentians, Quebec, with a base elevation of 230 metres and a summit at 875 metres across a 645-metre vertical drop over roughly 305 hectares. This setting places the resort within a comparatively short drive of Montreal, among the more accessible major resorts in Eastern Canada.
The purpose-built pedestrian village at Tremblant's base offers extensive lodging, dining, shopping and nightlife directly at the mountain, while the nearby town of Saint-Jovite provides additional services.
Route 117 and Autoroute 15 provide direct access to the resort from Montreal. Winter driving conditions on these routes can include snow and ice, though the well-travelled roads are regularly maintained given the resort's status as a major Quebec destination.
Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, roughly a two-hour drive away, is the primary gateway for visitors flying into the region, with Tremblant's considerable international profile supporting substantial visitation from across Canada, the United States and further afield.

The Val Gardena-Alpe di Siusi lift link isn’t dead after all. A South Tyrol court has overturned Santa Cristina’s rejection of the new Monte Pana-Saltria link on procedural grounds, after the council skipped required public information sessions. Opponents want the missing sessions held and a fresh vote, and nothing has been approved. For now it’s still a bus between the two, but a plan first floated in 2017 is back in the conversation.

A section of Whistler Peak terrain will stay closed all 2026-27 season, Vail Resorts has confirmed, with rockslide mitigation work continuing into summer 2027. Peak Express is still expected to run this winter, but locals are already arguing about what’s actually off limits, whether the Whistler Bowl is gone, and why the news landed after pass sales wound down. Here’s where things stand.

Loveland is open. The Colorado ski area started Chet’s Dream turning on Saturday 7 November to kick off 2026-27, with $60 adult lift tickets to mark 60 years of snowmaking. Expect three runs, nearly 1,000 vertical feet (about 300 metres) of top-to-bottom skiing, live music on the Basin Patio and no beginner terrain yet. Here’s what’s open, what it costs and when Loveland Valley follows.

Fried chicken is heading up the Dolomites. From 5 December KFC will run two restaurants on the slopes - one at 2,123 metres at Cortina, one at 1,700 metres at Madonna di Campiglio - and the polenta-and-canederli crowd has opinions. Local politicians, conservation groups and plenty of Facebook commenters are calling it a step too far, while others just want a cheaper lunch. Here’s what’s on the menu and what’s the fuss.

Mt Rose is going for the first-in-Tahoe title, with the Lakeview Express due to spin at 9 a.m. on Friday, November 6. One main lift, three runs and plenty of snowmaking, sitting on the highest base elevation in the region at 8,260 ft. Here is what is open, what is not (sorry, tubing fans), and how the early North American openings are stacking up.

Europe has had a quiet start to November, but our 10-day forecast has Serre Chevalier on 82 cm and Les 2 Alpes on 71 cm. Two pushes are lined up: a western Alps top-up from Friday, then a bigger, wider system on Thursday, November 12 and Friday, November 13 that reaches Italy and Switzerland. Full leaderboard inside.

Mammoth just moved opening day forward to Thursday, November 5, eight days ahead of schedule. A snowy weekend and cold snowmaking nights did the work, and our forecast shows up to 33 inches more landing on November 13 and 14. Here is what opens, what the weather looks like and where Mammoth sits among the early Ikon Pass openers.

Rain down low, snow up high, and a snow report full of zeros that mostly means ‘not updated yet’. Utah’s first proper storm of 2026-27 is rolling through the Wasatch, Snowbird’s snow stake is closing in on 10 inches, and Brian Head is five days from opening day. Early November snow rarely looks like much, but it is the layer every November opening date is built on. Here is where it stands.
Opening day for the winter 2026 - 2027 season is scheduled for Nov 27, 2026 (subject to change). Lift tickets at Mont Tremblant typically go on sale well before the start of the ski season.
