Thanks for the comment, although I will have to clarify my post above as I wasn't clear. When I said "very least traverse on both the heelside and toesides" to get up on the lift, that does not mean being able to turn. Traversing is the act of going diagonally across the hill. Falling leaf...

We weren't aware she was coming at the time, and such a big hill you figure would have something other than equalibrium. Anyone that's snowboarded before would know that getting a beginner from "never ever" to "won't kill themselves on a green run" is about 6 hours time. You simp...

I didn't get a chance to hit up the Soleil side when we were there between Dec 27-30th...I wonder if there is any suitable grades over there for a nice beginner slope. It would be very hard to squeeze anything else in on that south portion though, you guys are right. Wow, so half a million to upgrad...

We actually had a trip planned for Searchmont last year and we had to cancel due to family emergency. My beginner friend is actually from Toronto so it's a bit of a tough drive joining us in Searchmont We're going to Sun Peaks in about 2 months, can't wait! But to stay on topic, what is your opinion...

My friend asked me to post her experience with Tremblant's beginner area from our 3 full days on the hill last week. She hated it! Equilibrium is a joke if you ask me, WAY too small for the amount of instructors and people that were accessing the hill, whether that's holiday time or anytime. It's sa...

It might be a while before we get back to Tremblant unfortunately! Our next big trip...and big it is...is to Revelstoke in March! We are very limited to our trip timing as my wife is a teacher. So Christmas and March Break is it for us. We should have met up on the mountain for a run Gab, that would...

First day, Monday December 27th: First time at the mountain, so we were a bit timid and unsure of things, even after this site and a lot of trail map investigation. The weather was absolutely bone cold chilling, with a strong wind. The summit especially was devastatingly cold, approaching -35 and ke...

Just got back, conditions were much better than yesterday. Not nearly as cold top and almost no ice like yesterday. North was fantastic all morning until Lowell Thomas got seriously logjammed at about 1230. At 200 it took over half an hour for that lift. Overall a fantastic day, hoping for Duncan li...

We really liked the pedestrian village and surroundings, and even the old village where we are staying. The hill was great in the morning (other than the blasting cold above) and we fully expected the deteriorating conditions as the day went on. We're going to change a few things for tomorrow: 8:30 ...

Hello friends, from tremblant Just got back from the hill, it was mighty cold up on the summit, it was probably close to minus 35 this morning. The summit was being blasted by wind and swept a lot of the snow off the top. Towards the end of the day it was getting super icy on crete especially and th...
