Jay Peak sells discounted lift tickets locally here in Ottawa through a local sporting good store, and was wondering if they do the same in Montreal or Quebec City? Checking for some friends who are travelling.

Interesting chart in the K2 support area. It shows which ski is really being sold under a different name. I'm looking for a ski for my daughter and saw an ad for a K2 Mystery Luv, which I had never heard of. Ends up the ski is actually the First Luv...

Interesting article in today's Globe and Mail financial section. fyi, this is a Toronto based newspaper. http://www.globeinvestor.com/servlet/st ... 0/GIStory/ I was surprised to read the debt structure from the buyout. Finance 101 is to match debt to the asset, and 2 years for an Intrawest...

We got the kids and friends out 3 days last week - Tuesday, Wed. and Friday. I can use the same description for all three days: outstanding, and the best conditions in this area I've seen in 4 years skiing here. We ski on piste, no glades, and it was basically packed powder all day. The...

I heard an interesting one on why hills name every little segment on a hill as a different run. Aside from the marketing reasons usually cited, he said it was for insurance requirements so that if there is an injury or problem the location can be pinned down as close as possible, and patrollers...

We are planning a post-Christmas/New Years family ski trip this year and I would really appreciate feedback about the best chance of hitting decent snow conditions. No gladebusters here, just family intermediate, so groomed black and blue would do the trick. I know it's always a crapshoot...

:lol: I like to lurk and see where you guys have climbed to squeeze another shot out of the ski season. I half expect to see a skier behind a 4 rink arena with a big snow pile from the zamboni linking a last turn or two.

I'm going making a trip to Jay next week and am deciding between a Monday and Tuesday night trip, or pushing it back a day or so. The weather forecast Saturday to Tuesday in Ottawa is for above frezzing temperatures, but I can only get Jay info to Satruday. Any information whether Jay will...

Looks like the skiing sucks everywhere. Looks like Jay will have 8-12 runs this weekend but is charging $45 US. At least Owl's Head is charging to match conditions.

I saw on Tremblant's page they are officially opening on November 17. Any other resorts officially make the announcement. They are also selling a pass good for 2 days for $59 CDN until November 18. Question for the mountain climbers. Do the ski hill operators give you any grief about...

Day off, Daughter's school was off so we drove the 2 hours to Tremblant. Arrived around 8:30 and got a nice spot near the Soliel feeder lift. This shot is from our parking spot in P2. You take this short lift and a transit run to the main lift areas. Worked out pretty well but the...

Not sure on the board's policy regarding posts with tickets, so if I'm in violation, please delete this. I will be picking up some Mont Tremblant tickets tomorrow or Wed., and will have a couple of extras. Price is great at $26 CDN each for adult tickets. I'm in Ottawa if anyone is...

Hi, We are going to Mont Orford in the Eastern Townships on Friday for the first time and wondered if anyone knew what kind of crowds are typical there for a weekday? Many thanks.
