| Canadian Ski Caper! |
|
Ready to explore beyond New England's ski areas with your family? But less than enthused about putting your family on a plane? A visit to Canada's nearest province, Quebec, can satisfy your lust for international ski adventure - without the expense or hassle of flying, passports and baggage checks.
Here are two dreamy destinations in Quebec that have all the accouterments of a European ski vacation (posh lodging, expansive skiing, culinary treats and foreign language) accessible to your family the American way - by car. These Quebec ski spots are just over 400 miles (a 7 hour drive) from the Boston area.
Tremblant is hands-down the best slopeside ski village in Eastern North America. This self-contained resort, 90-minutes northwest of Montreal, is an extremely entertaining place to take the family for a ski holiday. Your kids will approve of the Disney-like atmosphere, as parents you will appreciate the tasteful Zermatt-esque village. Intrawest had their thinking caps on, and their wallets open, when they designed this resort. Everything from the pedestrian village brimming with restaurants, inns and shops to the underground parking, is first class.
