We had a great week-end of skiing at the Mont Blanc ski resort.The resort is mid-sized but the mountain has 41 trails so a lot of variety.The condos are ski-in/ski-out so we could get up in the morning and hit the slopes right away without having to drive.The snow and the weather were both great – the sun was out most of the time and there was a ton of snow. We had dinner in the Mont Blanc restaurant “le Chamonix” which had a huge buffet – like you get in a resort down south.We even tried frog legs (they taste like chicken like everyone says).If you’re looking for a great skiers mountain that’s not too hard on the budget and has a lot of extras – Mont Blanc is a great location, and just an hour north of Montreal on Highway 15.
On a Ski vacation in Quebec, we found a great ski resort - Mont Blanc, just an hour north of Montreal and before Mont Tremblant. If you want to ski quebec, this is a great place to go. As intermediate skiers, we had a great time taking on the Mont Blanc slopes The mountainhas enough easier runs with a ton of really challenging ones too – 41 runs in all so great for all levels.We didn’t make it over to the North face because we heard it was the most difficult part but for us the best part was the main face which comes together right in front of the main ski resort, with the cafeteria, lounge, rental, and everything right there.The conditions were awesome – tons of snow, great terrain, and the sun was out most of the time. We stayed in their Village Mont Blanc condominiums which are ski-in, ski-out and AWESOME. Really nice condos, with gas fireplaces, cozy, and new. A really nice trip - highly recommended!
