Quebec Board Trip - Where To Go?

Hello everyone. For those that have been to Quebec what would you
recommend. I looked thru some history and can't find anything
relating what I was looking for that was actually current.

Been looking at Mt. Tremblant. Read some good and bad.
Also heard Mt. Saint Anne is nice area.

Tremblant has something like 94 runs thou, and long run is 6km.
Sounds like a sweet place.

Looking at going Mid. Jan. And boardings days will be a Friday and
Saturday.

As it stands now anyhow. What are your pros/cons of these places. If
you know of any others that are great let me know.

Cheers,
John

Tremblant can be crazy on weekends, mid-week is best. On the other hand, if
you've never been there and your planning a trip in the area, it's
definitely worth while. Most of my experiences there have included icy
conditions. If you're planning a multi-day trip, some of the smaller hills
in the area near St Jovite can make good base camps. I've stayed at Mont
Blanc for a couple of days, the hot tub, pool, and steam baths were welcome
at the end of the day to ease those muscles.

I've heard that Le Massif is rockin' too. It's like the highest peak east
of the canadian rockies or something like that.

Been to Tremblant, Orford and Mont Saint Anne. All were pretty good.
We went during the week so it's hard to compare, plus it was a couple
of years ago. I do recall Tremblant being rather crowded. Orford is
small, but nice. Mont St.Anne is in between.

Suggestions about Quebec though - try the poutin (french fries, cheese
curds and gravy) for a heart-clogging winter calorie burst and bring
extra gear for the extremely cold temperatures in mid/late January
like face masks and down liners.

Thanks for the post back. I think we are going to take the drive to
Mont Saint Anne as it has what we are looking for at a very reasonable
price for the time we want. We will be going at the start of the week
thou to hopefully avoid large amts of people. Probably do our
snowboarding on Monday and Tuesday.

It is about a 14h drive from SW Ontario, but everyone I know that has
been their says great things about it. Maybe if all allows I would
not mind trying Tremblant out in the spring as a "last day" of
boarding type trip.

Thanks for the post back thou guys/gals.

Hi,

i'm from quebec city.. and I will recommand you to try Le Massif...

it's about 20 min from Mont-Sainte-Anne... less crowded, twice as high
and the view is great... at the top of the slopes (where you park your
car..) you'll be able to see the St-Lawrence river, and the beautiful
region of Charlevoix

it's not as big as Sainte-Anne (25 trail I think).. but the trail are
a lot longuer and a there is a lot of black trail (difficult)
