We enjoyed our time in Mont-Tremblant last year so much that we decided to return this year.  After the recent ice storms and bitterly cold weather, we were happy to see temperatures return to a more comfortable level.  The forecast for the coming week calls for temperatures near the freezing mark, which is warm for Mont-Tremblant, and comfortable for skiing.

Air Canada doesn’t fly into Mont-Tremblant, so we were forced to once again fly with Porter Airlines.  They’re not bad, but we do find it an inconvenience to fly out of YTZ instead of YYZ, and Porter only offers economy class, but it still beats driving all the way.

We arrived at the island airport in the late afternoon for our 7:05 PM flight.  We were delayed about 45 departing, but we were happy to get out at all, after the massive number of flight cancellations the day before.

We eventually arrived at Mont-Tremblant international airport (YTM) to meet our shuttle transfer.

We arrived at the Fairmont Mont-Tremblant shortly before 10 PM and were happy to see the hotel was still lit up with Christmas decorations.

We were escorted to the Gold floor to check in, and were happy to see we were given the same room as last year.  It’s a nice room that has views out to the ski hill, the village and over the lake.  Our concierge said it is one of their nicest rooms, and they try to give their Platinum member guests the best rooms.

Before unpacking, we had some drinks and light refreshments in the lounge.  The bell staff unpacked our skis and checked them in with the valet and we got organized for the coming week.  Our plan for tomorrow is to hit the slopes.
