Mt Tremblant life lineups

Is Tremblant evil like the majority of other interwest resorts.. (owned primarily by heartless foreign buisnessmen from the east)..
Do they oversell the liftpasses and crowd the runs to there max like at bluemountain?
Ive been up to whistler, and its not *TOO* bad.. but a few other interwest resorts such as blue mountain have totally disgusted me by doing this. Im at the university of ottawa, considering buying a seasons pass to tremblant.. any thoughts?
What are the weekend lineups like on average? (say a saturday, jan - march)
How well do they keep there park groomed?
feedpack please.

tremblant has always been super busy and overpriced as far as I am concerned

I've been to Tremblant numerous times and as long as you dont keep goin to the bottom, but stay on the lifts that are about midway up the mountain, the lines arent bad. The park is pretty sick, last time i went the half pipe was amazing and the jumps and rails were too. There is also some nice glades stuff and moguls if you are into that.

not worth it park wise. Did any one go to tremblants park last winter? it was a mess.
Tell you what.
If you ski at Blue - then yes - the line-ups are messy, however - Blue Mountain has it's OWN dedicated terrain park lift that is never longer than 20 people in line on the busiest day of the year.
I ski over 100 days/winter in the Blue Mountain terrain park. I know.
Season passes at Blue?
149.00 gets you every midweek day of the year and every night of the year he ENTIRE season. No Gimmicks. That deal ends Oct. 27th
Univeristy Student?
During the reading weeks - from February 16-28th (2 weeks) all University students can ski for 34 bucs for the entire DAY and NIGHT.
Now THAT'S the deal.

yer, i went to tremblant twice last year, and the park was shitty for a big mountain like this, 3 small icy jumps and a pipe at the top then a wall and 2rails there is also a small park at the bottom with a 10' jump and a park next to the pipe at the right with rails and bigger jump and spine, the park was too small and icy so we went into glades with fresh pow.

St-sauveur / Avila have a better park in my opinion, and it's closer to montreal than tremblant. Depends on what kind of skiing u want to do, if u want to ski park only, or if u want to ski glades, trails and park.

Caden, I guess it depends what kind of skiing you're talking about but I've skied both Blue and Tremblant (park-wise) and Blue is really on it.
I've spent a fair bit of time at Tremblant and I have never once seen a park tech working on a feature. Their pipe is never cut when I'm there and it's been the same setup for like 4 years. Now it may be a good setup but what makes it better than blue?
I'm not trying to rip on anyone but I just want to see your reasoning.
you can't spell sick without ck

snake that shit man.. it's the only way.. and the park can't be based if you go a weekend or two.. because a couple weekends it was awful but the rest of the time was shibby, def. more shibby than avila last year
Smoking pot leads to uhh... I forget.

BUDDY.. definitely DO NOT buy at pass at tremblant. the park isnt taken care of that well and it's at the top of the mountain...which means it's always -45 degrees because that's just the way tremblant is. parking is a pain in the ass and the lines are always ridiculous.
GET A PASS AT MONT SAINT SAUVEUR.. it's closer to ottawa, has just as a good a park or better than tremblant, they're getting a superpipe this year, they take care of their park super well and if you get another friend that's a student the season pass is only $250 each. sauveur is where it's at for sure.

Overall skiing though tremblant is much better, the park at st-sau is good but the runs suck. Buy tremblant you won't regret it

for people talking about blue, it isnt fun at all driving at least 7 hours from ottawa to a tiny hill all just to ski a park that is maybe a little bit better than tremblant.
tremblant is miles ahead of blue in any other category, and the park aspect is debateable either way. stop trying to advertise needlessly...
merlix, go to tremblant. for park, glades, moguls, steeps, nice rolling runs, and most other features youll find at a ski hill, tremblant will have it there. it is worth the two hour trip on saturdays for sure.

k dude, the lift on lowell thomas which is the chair for the park isnt that bad, if you go in the singles line, which is key at trembs you wont wait more than 15 mins TOPS, and if you hike shit and take your time coming down the park thats not that much time to wait... whoever said their park sucked you are retarded, 2 rails? wtf arte you talking about? they have a sick rollercoaster, single kink, kinked box, long 40 footer, short 20 footer, a question mark and their pipe is usually cut really ick, especially on the weekends like when this kid wants to go... plus i heard they are adding another park on the front side of the mountain which would be sick... as for the cold i wont lie it gets cold, but you cant be a pussy and ski...
What the hell were they doing with a car on the moon?... havent they gone far enough?

yeah seriously they have a lot more than two rails there bud, try 20 or so...and the only lift that you have to wait a long time for is the main gondola, i think its the flying mile. oh and maybe the cabriolet too, but thats different.

All times are Eastern (-4)
