Best skiing near montreal?

I would just DM Mat Duf but Saint Sauveur and Tremblant are close by and I think they're decent from what I've heard. There's a shit ton of other small mountains around MTL too

it depends what you're looking for skiing wise and what your budget is but here are some recommandations

Laurentians : Avila for the park , Tremblant for the mountain
lanaudière : La réserve for the powder days & Val Saint-Côme for the mountain
Montreal: there was a snowpark setup at the olympic stadium the past 2 seasons, nice to hike some rails
south shore: bromont for the park, Sutton for the mountain

All of them are 1h-1h45 distance from montreal , there's nothing really inside a 45min distance (Avila is usually under 1h depending on trafic and where you're leaving from)

Bus / trains are doable but pretty inefficient, if you don't have a car your best bet is to rent something like communauto

Saw the rails at the olympic park this spring looked like a decent set up.

Jay is bit of a drive but worth it.

Mnt Tremblant is sick. Buncha hot french canadian chicks in the oakley store as well.

My sister goes to mcgill and we visit and ski bromont. Pretty legit park and skiing there

@snowpark_terrebonne ma gee

all seriousness if you want a season pass somewhere i think avila (sommet st sauveur) is a good choice debatably the best park in mtl area, first and last to ski and the community is sick

So most likely would be riding Avila and then on the occasional pow day or day I wanna go for a tour probably just buy a day pass to tremblant or la reserve? Would probably be a good idea to bring a car to school based off what y’all said. Along with hike park to save cash.

Do canadian schools have as big of party or greek life as american schools? Along with are canadian season passes absurdly expensive like here? I mean HV’s season pass is like 1199 now which is nuts. Also is there student passes?

Can you even apply to uni in Québec without a cegep/college diploma?

their website has an option for International Undergrad. So I’d assume so but i have to go over it with my counselor once school starts this year. She had two kids from my school go to U of T and one to York. Idk if all Canadian schools work the same tho.

Québec is pretty different from the rest of Canada including the school system

Saint sauveur/avila season pass is around $400, tremblent is more expensive

their international tuition without aid is 23k which is pretty good when a SUNY is about 12 or UVM is 40ish

Yeah you will need a car if you want to ski. What you said is spot on, avila, ojo park at olympic stadium and a lidt ticket for powder days is a good mix. My favorite park would be Bromont though, but its 1h15 from mtl, as Avila is more 50min. The worst is the traffic to get out of the city.
Good party scene in mtl for sure, especially if you go to integration at your school, there will be a lot of international students that are let loose in mtl

Goo went to McGill. Drove to Burlington to ski sugarbush many weekends.

Yeah if you're from elsewhere in Canada you just need a HS diploma. Cegep gives you some first year uni course equivalences.

Even though the situation is changing quickly, Montreal is still cheaper to rent in than most other Canadian cities, even Halifax these days.

for night skiing in case your wondering, north shore has saint sauveur and south shore has st bruno which might be small but legit 10min from longeuil, have bromont too which has one of the best park scenes rn

I’m from BC and go to McGill, ski scene is actually pretty sick in Montreal lots of places to ski in the city and you can get good deals for student passes at a lot of the mountains.

Communauto is definitely the way to go in terms of getting out of the city, super cheap if you split it with homies and you don’t pay for gas in them which is sick.

I ski at Jay Peak with a bunch of friends 1/2 times a week, it’s about a 2 hour drive so not the closest hill but so worth the trip. Not as known for their park as some other hills but still has a pretty good one with everything you could want. Imo they have some of the best terrain/snow on the east coast and an insanely good deal for students. It’s $240 for the season and you can pay at par with CAD cash if you go in person.

We have a group chat with about 25 students that all have jay passes and coordinate cars etc. to go every weekend. If you’re keen on coming dm me and I can add you to it, or if u wanna ski in the city at all am always looking for new ppl to ski w. Also if you want any advice on res or anything McGill related feel free to reach out.

McGill is a rly good uni and Montreal is the coolest city in Canada imo, there’s something for everyone here whether ur into partying, outdoors stuff, academics etc. There’s a community for just about everything and the student body at McGill is full of very friendly people (in my experience).

Hope ur application goes well and hopefully will be seeing u around!
