Mont Tremblant

Some friends and I are heading up to Tremblant the week after Christmas and staying at a condo. Any advice on places to go-bars or restaraunts-while we're there? Should we exchange our money at the border? Do I need to watch my shit from being stolen? Do the locals speak English? Never been that far north in Canada so any help is much appreciated.

Bars to go to: le p'tit caribou, le shack, and le cafe d'epoque.

Theres a money exchange place right in the village.

Lock up your gear.

Bring warrrm outerwear.

And yeah, you can talk english. Don't be a dick though. Alot of Quebecers are thugs on the hill, remember that.

every one speaks english, it is like a part of america with an accent


also, to get last tracks, take the last gondola ride or TGV ride, and go up in that observitory thing, and chill out there for a bit, then ski down all by yourself

Its pretty sweet, you can't go wrong just about anywhere there. If I remember the exchange rate at the border is a little better.

no 5 buck coins... idiot.

If you are 15-19, cafe d'epoque or octobar. 19-25, le caribou, 25+, le shack.

It gets cold in jan and feb. will prob be around -10 celcius over christmas break.

People speak english, and french, and japanese, its a tourist hill.

If anyone is there the night of the 29th, want to let Apple, Ilovehad, and myself sleep on a floor. We have lodging tehcnical diffculties that night.

plus great nightlife makes you sleep in.. unless it dumps

last year when i was there, the town at the bottom of the mountain was on some kind of liqour strike. The only places you could get alcohol were at the bar or if your drove to a different town. Luckily me and my friends drove up there

i'll be there during the holidays prob. Also like Dishwalla said, the good park "soth side" only opens later on in the year so don't go there with huge expectations.
