Yes multiple friend groups have gone to tremblant

The skiing is cool, but the bars and nightclubs are mediocre.....
Way too expensive to drink in canada-- At least there are many kids selling hash
The bouncers and bartenders like expect big tips (20s) or give you shit


conclusion:
Get a suite or ski in/out cottages in the States

This is a NS first. A brand new member asked a question, the first reply fully answered the question with real information, and nothing sarcastic was said. I'm not sure how this happened but well done.

This. If you aren't rich, bring as much booze as you can up there. I bought a 12 pack of pbr cans in tornto for 19.50. Then only actually getting 7 of them and had to go back to a store to get more booze. Ended up finding a cheap bottle of wine for 7 bucks and went that route.

Being an alcoholic in canada must be a bitch.

You couldn't pay me to go. All the people I see sharing this on Facebook are just your weekend warriors who are more interested in "getting with snow bunnies" than skiing or boarding. I'd pass and just do a trip with a few buds. You could get better skiing for the same price if you weren't afraid to dirtbag it a little bit

The skiing at Tremblant can vary around December; either great, or not much snow. If you're there for partying, there's always trashed white girls looking to fuck who are just there for, well, partying

honestly it depends on who youre going with. if youre going with a bunch of friends from your school that all like to ride then yeah itll be fun. im a rep for my school and everyone who has asked me for a flyer so far has wanted it because they just want to go somewhere and get drunk where they dont have to worry about getting arrested for it. im repping just because i want the free trip and then i want to sell it.

NEVER BOOK WITH CollegeXBreaks Ski Travel Unlimited. They are a SCAM!!
Their director, Dan Callahan, called me "stupid" and told me I was "wasting his time" when I asked him about an extra charge for my trip, and then cancelled it 3 days before because he "didn't like me." He yelled at me & hung up on me. I had this trip booked months in advance. This is the guy running everything????? Pathetic.
Then, they said I would get my refund in 5 days, well guess what, it took TWO MONTHS. Then, when I called my credit card company about it, he told me I was a "criminal."
If you want to be degraded, treated terribly, and have your trip cancelled three days before and have to fight to get your money back- then book with them.
I've worked in customer service for years and never once yelled, made (or called) someone feel stupid. This is a disgrace of a travel company and I hope people considering booking a trip with them don't.

I mean you can get drunk all day at the mtn, on the mtn, go walk around and get drunk after, go to the pools and get drunk, and get drunk in your hotel. All without getting arrested if you aren't a moron.

So are you saying you would recommend the trip to a friend?




Also as far as the thread. These things always stuck me as more for the bro types and OMG drinking a bar is so fucking riveting!!!!!

There are a lot of people, I'm sure it can be a great time, but I'd rather gather up friends and go somewhere else and imo do it better. Maybe there won't be however many thousand kids, but I'm totally fine with that.
