But the mountain that I like and love, and the one where I would buy a chalet if I was to get one, is Tremblant. I like the village, the shops, the restos, the ambiance, the fact that we walk everywhere (uphill) in such a way that you can park your car when you arrive, and take it when you leave. And now I love the mountain.
We left at 7:00am and got to the mountain at 8:30am. By 9:15am, after getting the tickets, putting our equipment and all that jazz, we were on top of the mountain skiing.
Tremblant is as well thought out as Bromont, but on another scale. Once you're up, you ski down for a relatively long time. Hence we can spend a lot more time on the slope then not. Let me put it this way: at 3:15pm everyone was exhausted. By the time we got on the road it was about 4:00pm and we were at "La Porte du Nord" at 5:00pm. We stopped to (yuck) McDonalds for supper. Not to be repeated too often but it was good. I preferred their coffee to Tim's.
Mathieu didn't make it back home awake, he passed out in the car.

While Suzanne still prefers Bromont, Tremblant is now my favourite mountain (with family, alone I think I'd take Sutton or Owl's Head). That's where I'd get a chalet.
Nobody was awake pass 9:00pm
So to honour the mountain, here was its short term forecast:
