As Nadine has really enjoyed learning to ski, and we both love coming to Mont Tremblant every year, we decided to come twice this winter! Just like our trip in January, we’re heading out for 5 nights in March.

For the second time this season, we’re taking Air Canada’s new seasonal service non-stop from YYZ to YTM airport.  After spending some time in the lounge, we headed to the gate to board our flight.  Unfortunately, the crew could not get one of the engines to start, maintenance crews could not repair the problem, and our aircraft was not going anywhere.

My first thought was they were going to cancel the flight, because there was only two other passengers on the entire flight.  Fortunately, the flight coming back was full, so AC was determined to find another aircraft to get us on our way.  After a change of gates and about 45 minutes delay, we were on our way on a different aircraft.

Here we are seated on our near private plane.  They had to move us all to the back of the aircraft for weight and balance issues.

The rest of our journey was without incident, and we arrived at the Fairmont Tremblant in time for some appetizers in the lounge.  We got settled in our room and relaxed for the evening.
