Mont Tremblant prepared for a special holiday season

Mont-Tremblant is the number one ski resort in Eastern North America for many reasons, one of which is the many events that are held at the destination each year to celebrate the holiday season.  Once the mountain opens on December 9, it is certain that the fun and excitement will not stop until the very final run of the season.

Tremblant is a massive winter playground with 95 runs serviced by 14 state-of-the-art lifts.  There are trails for skiers of all levels, so an exhilarating mountain experience for all is guaranteed.  Plus, on top of great skiing, Tremblant offers a level of après-ski and nightlife that simply is not seen at most other resorts.      

Festivals and events this season at Mont Tremblant, Quebec

Mont Tremblant24-Hour Ski Marathon.  From December 11 to 13, the 9th annual 24 hours of Tremblant fundraising event will be held with the intent of raising one million dollars for the children of the ‘Fondation Centre de cancérologie Charles-Bruneau,’ the Sens Foundation and the Tremblant Foundation.  This event, which is North America’s largest fundraising ski event, is a 24-hour ski marathon.  When the race starts, each team must choose the first participant to take part in the ski-o-thon and that participant must begin their downhill runs.  Afterwards, teams are allowed to choose their own rotation of skiers for the remainder of the event.   

For the first time in the event’s history, the maximum number of teams has been registered, with 225 teams in total ready to participate.  Attendees will be able to enjoy the awesome musical program that includes Jonas, Yann Perreau, Boom Desjardins, DJ Champion et ses G-Strings, Stefie Shock and Ariane Moffat.

2010 Olympic Torch Relay.  On December 9, Tremblant will welcome the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay starting at 9am at the Place des Voyageurs located at the base of the mountain.  The relay will move up the rue des Remparts to the bottom of the ski slopes, where spectators can watch guest of honour Peter Duncan ski down the last pitch with the torch.  The next guest of honour, Peggy Austin, will then take over and carry the torch to the Place St-Bernard.  Be sure not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime parade.
