We just returned from our 2nd annual family ski trip to Mount Tremblant, Quebec<\/a>.\u00a0 Unlike last year, Kyle and I flew there while the rest of the gang made the seven+ hour drive from Toronto.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>Kyle and I flew Porter (www.flyporter.com<\/a>).\u00a0 I can’t say enough good things about this airline.\u00a0 The experience was amazing and so fast.\u00a0 I only had to show up 30 minutes before take-off, even with a\u00a0toddler!\u00a0 We\u00a0received tons of snacks and drinks at the lounge and Kyle loved watching the airplanes.\u00a0 Before\u00a0I knew it, we landed.\u00a0 A shuttle bus took us right to the village where\u00a0Kyle and I had a few hours to kill before everyone else arrived.<\/p>\n

First stop, FOOD!\u00a0 We went to\u00a0an Italian restaurant\u00a0(http:\/\/www.pizzateria.com\/<\/a>) and\u00a0shared a salad and a pizza.\u00a0 I\u00a0unfortunately didn’t plan his clothes very well as he was wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs sweatshirt in the (Montreal) Canadians\u00a0home turf.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>Thankfully no one made a comment about it.*\u00a0 After lunch, I took him to the indoor play pool located in the village – Aquaclub La Source (http:\/\/www.tremblant.ca\/activities\/winter\/activities\/aquaclub\/index-e.htm<\/a>).\u00a0 There was a great wading pool for babies\u00a0\/ toddlers with a water slide that I\u00a0was able to take Kyle down.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>There was even a jacuzzi the size of a small pool that wasn’t too hot and\u00a0full of little kids.\u00a0 It was also pretty neat to watch the skiers from the glass windows\u00a0surrounding\u00a0the pools.\u00a0 Kyle and I ended our two-hour\u00a0adventure in the jacuzzi.\u00a0 We warmed up, changed and made our way to the chalet to meet the rest of the gang and daddy. I had to make a quick detour\u00a0for\u00a0a Beaver-Tail.\u00a0 It was sooooooo yummy, I couldn’t resist!!!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The next day, John and I got to hit the slops while\u00a0his family\u00a0watched Kyle.\u00a0 We made it to the gondola at 8:30 and we finished our first run by 9:00.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>It was amazing to get back on the skis\u00a0after a one-year hiatus.\u00a0 The snow conditions were great but the weather was a little on the chilly side (-16 degrees on the top; but felt\u00a0much colder due to the wind).\u00a0 Since this would be my only day of skiing, I wanted to take advantage of it.\u00a0 We skied\u00a0about 5 runs, before we had to go inside for a quick break.\u00a0 My toes were frostbitten and my fingers extremely cold.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>After warming up by the fire and drinking some coffee, we hit the slops again.\u00a0 We were able to ski right into our chalet for a quick-lunch\u00a0break and continued\u00a0until the last ski-lift at 3:45.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>I don’t know if it was the time of year, the weather or the overall\u00a0winter seasons\u00a0that we’ve had, but the slops were empty.\u00a0 It was amazing!\u00a0 On some runs, it felt like John and I were the only ones there.\u00a0 We had the whole trail to ourselves, and we loved it.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>Of course, the best part about skiing is the ‘apres ski’.\u00a0 We stopped at “Le Shack” in the village and ordered a few pitchers, some\u00a0POUTINE (when in Rome) and shared a few laughs and stories before we headed back to the chalet for dinner.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tuesday morning, after Kyle’s morning nap and before we had to leave for the airport, I took Kyle to the village.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>The weather was warming up and we hung out at the bottom of the hill watching the skiers\u00a0go by.\u00a0 Kyle loved just “running” around in the snow and sliding down on this bum on a small hill.\u00a0 He\u00a0tiered himself out enough that he napped the entire ride to the airport.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a fun, quick and great family get-away, look no further than Tremblant.\u00a0 Whether you’re a skier \/ snowboarder\u00a0or just\u00a0there with friends or family, there is something for everyone.\u00a0 If you happen to be there with the kiddies but no one to watch them, Tremblant does offer daycare (Kids Club) for children 1 to 6 years old.\u00a0 http:\/\/www.tremblant.ca\/activities\/kidz\/index-e.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

Hope\u00a0you have fun \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

* Its\u00a0possible\u00a0everyone was mesmerized by\u00a0Kyle cuteness so they weren’t capable of speaking!<\/p>\n
