Word from some respected mucky-mucks at Mont Tremblant is that Intrawest is in serious financial trouble because of currency values, weather, past reputation, and the way they treat the skiing consumer.
To add fuel to the fire, all events are to be cancelled, since the Events department head was fired and the staff let go.

And I thought they were just scrimping on a pipe...
Anyway, I hope it's not that bad BUT I keep hearing more each day - it's hard to ignore.
