OK, so I am a very beginner skier, and there are many great things about this resort. The parking is close to where you go into the chalet, the ski instructors are great. Pierre was mine. He was absolutely amazing. I got so much better after lessons with him. The people at the ski rental and customer service area were nice and helpful. Like all ski resorts, they have a cafeteria and offer several options for food. You can buy anything you forgot here and they have lots of choices for clothing gear goggles. You name it. The staff on the slopes is very helpful and it has a great feeling overall.. read more

Wonderful hill worth the somewhat long drive! I came here on a Sunday with my partner. Buying tickets online was super simple. For a 4-hour block, the student price was 40$ + 4.35$ for the rechargeable ski card. We arrived to the hill and there was a sign saying the parking lot was full but we managed to find a spot. For the first time you ski here, you need to go to the ticket booth to get your card. However, for future visits, you just enter your card number when you buy the ticket online and you don't have to wait in any lines when you get there. The hill is very well maintained. Lots of varied runs of varying difficulties. Great options for beginner and intermediate skiers. A few tougher options for more advanced skiers as well as a park for those who like to do tricks. Employees were nice and helpful. Driving back to Montreal in the afternoon/evening on a Sunday took almost 2 hours because of the traffic so be aware of that (especially with the curfew). Even with this minor negative, we have a wonderful day and look forward to coming here again! read more

Mont Blanc is medium size ski hill that seems to be overlooked because its proximity to Mont Tremblant. Well if you are in the area don't miss the opportunity to ski at Mont Blanc due to many reasons: * competitive prices, you will get further discount if you buy your ticket online; * slopes are always well groomed if needed; * the major chairlifts are literally redundant, the old chairs will start operating, when there are more people, resulting in no wait time; * rustic canteen with extensive menu that offers several choices of chilli (yum); * bar for apres ski with fire place and decent choice of beers; * the ski resort is easily accessible from Montreal; * you are not exposed to endless crowds of people, including less snowboarders; * nice facilities for rental of equipment; * beautiful view of the mountains from the North side of the hill. My only complaint is the strange choice of TV channels in the bar during my last visit, we kindly asked to see the end of the Habs game, which caused major distress in the bar tender, who kept the fight show and then switched to Super Bowl pregame. This is of course completely irrelevant considering that it did not impact the great quality of skiing we had that day, but I truly expect hockey would be on the TV in the heart of Quebec. Mont Blanc is also known to be a family friendly resort. Great place to ski around Montreal. Note: one needs loonie for the lockers. read more

Mont Blanc - Ski Resorts Near Me - Mont-Tremblant, Quebec

Mont Blanc may be a smaller mountain, but remember never judge a book by its cover. Mont Blanc has so much to offer! Plenty of trails with beautiful scenic views of Canada. Extremely friendly and helpful staff located throughout the mountain. We pretty much swept through all the trails from one side to the other within one day, but there were enough trails to keep us occupied and interested throughout the day. And because it's a smaller mountain, there was less of a crowd than Tremblant that we actually liked Mont Blanc better because we barely had to wait in any lines. But they're not too small that they have 7 lifts to their 41 trails! Don't forget the Cabane a Sucre (Sugar Cabin) for some fresh maple syrup on a stick! Also be sure to visit the bar and visit our new friend and bartender, George! Such a friendly guy! read more

This is our third year skiing at Mont Blanc for the Ontario March Break. The first year we stayed at one of the parking lot condos which was nice and convenient. Last year we tried a local Air BnB which was very nice but a 10 minute drive away. This year I decided to give a "slopeside" condo here a try for convenience. Unfortunately I am very unhappy with my "Condo Faustin" experience. I understood it to be ski in ski out as it is listed on the page with a first paragraph that states "all with ultimate ski-out and base of mountain convenience". The paragraph for Condo Faustin describes it as 500 feet from the chairlift. It is more than 500 feet as the crow flies and you cannot walk or ski to it but must drive about 3,250 feet to the parking lot where the closest lift is located. This totally changed our planned stay as now we had to drive back and forth with skiis and pack food for lunch or go back in the van to the condo. The reception did offer a 10% discount but I am still not satisfied. This is clearly misrepresented. The condo itself is a bit dated and not "recently refurbished". Signage and directions ask us to park in front of the building but the only keyed entrance is off to the side. That entrance was designed for a proper in and out and has the hangers for coats and tiled area for skis and boots, etc. Parking in front also makes the driving very tight. The parking lots on the sides are quite large however so I'm not sure why they want the occupants of the main floor units to park out front. The keyed door is very finicky. The sliding front and back patio doors are tough as the tracks are not straight. The bedroom doors do not fully close and therefore cannot lock. The TV is the 90s style though built in 2004. It is about 26" and SD only. Only RCA inputs.Like the TV the appliances are dated but they work well enough. Couple of the fridge door shelf guards are bent. Any movement above is heard from the main floor unit even though our neighbours were not being particularly noisy. The second and third floor do require a hike up stairs that I presume is explained when bookings are made. The toaster crumb pan was taped on with electrical tape and fell off when I picked it out of the cupboard to use. The unit is otherwise neat and clean and functioning. Nice fireplace. Good bedding. Good selection of dinnerware and utensils. Beds are comfortable, including the pull out. A little bit of road noise but not enough to wake one up. I was disppointed to hear that the pool will be closed after next season (2018/2019). The pool and hot tub really make staying at the resort a plus and a major incetinve for booking. I presume there will be a replacement or more hot tubs. Outdoor hot tubs would be a big plus. The skiing itself is a very good and the staff and instructors are great. Good value and family friendly in that regard as noted by others. The major issue is that this is not a ski in ski out and unless they cure that issue I would not recommend staying at Condo Faustin. It would be better to be at the parking lot condo or one of the other sites that are actually slopeside. read more

Pool Life Guard - sat on her sit doesn't look at the pool full of babies and toddlers. She only rises​ up when there were​ 7 adults in the hot-tub instead of 6 - she even calls​ the manager for that, while the babies unattended in the pool! Besides, unaccommodating​ staff ​did not help with a mistake in the booking registration that they did, and we didn't confirm before​ arrival. Instead of finding the best solution for such mistake, and be generous​ and understandable to the situation, we had to move between rooms finding​ ourselves unpacking and packing and after a long day at the skis' slopes, moving ourselves​ to the ​second-floor-the-farthest-from-the-parking-lot room. Awful experience​. We're usually coming as a group of friends. Won't happen again.​ read more

What??? I haven't reviewed Mont Blanc yet? Well I guess I'll have to fix that right away because people ought to know how much this place rocks. The mountain is in the Tremblant region and though it may be smaller than Tremblant it is way better. It's just over an hour from Montreal and the lift ticket is about $50 which is competitive with other Quebec ski hills. I came here when I first started skiing and instantly fell in love with the mountain. Today it is probably one of my favourites in Quebec if not the favourite. Seriously, whenever I start talking skiing with someone I almost always bring up how awesome this mountain this is. There are about 40 runs here and there is a good mix for all skill levels so you will have no trouble finding something that meets your needs. The greens can be too flat in some parts but I am a fan of the blues and blacks. You can get some gorgeous views from the top of them. Also the crowds are never too bad. On my most recent visit the conditions were fantastic for skiing but despite that and the fact it was a Saturday we never had to wait long for the chairs. This translated into a full day of skiing packed with lots of runs which is my idea of a good time. It does get icy here but that is skiing in Quebec for you. If you want real powder conditions you will have to head out west unfortunately. Still sometimes Mother Nature smiles down on you and you get a decent powder day but I'm venturing off topic here. For those of you with families this is a great place to come with kids. They have a Jungle Magique play area for the little ones which consists of slides, ball pits, etc to play in. There is also a day care I believe and if you are staying in the hotel then you should check out the pool. The other thing I love about the mountain is the quality of the services they offer the skiers. I can't comment on the pro shop or rentals since I have my own equipment but every other aspect is great. The cafeteria actually serves up quality food and is one of the more reasonably priced ones as far as ski resorts go. Your best bet is to get the table d'hote which is $13 and gets you a soup, meal of the day and dessert. It is a ton of food and will fill you up for an afternoon packed with skiing. There is also ample seating here. For those of you who brought your own lunch you will have an easier time finding seats in the neighbouring building where there is a lunch area that contains only tables. If you're on the summit and want a quick snack then hit the Cabane à Sucre for some tir d'érable. They even have a little fire going so you can warm up on a cold day. Once the day winds down you should hit the bar for a quick aprés ski. It is a fairly large space and there is a fireplace right in the middle with comfy armchairs next to it so you can relax by the fire with a drink. I do wish that the beer selection would focus more on microbrews but you can get Keith's which is a solid option when craft beers aren't on tap. They even have live music sometimes which is really nice. If you're heading to the Laurentians to ski then you should definitely come here. It is a well-managed mountain with great skiing that is close to Montreal. So now that you know more about this place what are you waiting for? Get out there and get skiing! read more

This used to be one of our favorites mountains, but trails are way too icy for skiing and not sure why they did not use snow making equipment, specially on family day. The second floor cafe needs major revamp. Got there at 235pm and kitchen hot foods were basically closed. I can see the sandwiches but they would not open the glass cabinet because they were not heating the food anymore. Get self serve hot food that's available past trail closing time. Cashier was friendly and apologized but basically after 3pm, you have coffee or tea. This is a beautiful mountain but needs better management. read more

Mont-Blanc Ski in St.Faustin has decided for season 2016-2017 to reward their long-standing loyal clientele with MAJOR INCREASES. Yes, instead of saying thank you for over 30 years of loyalty with promotional considerations they are doing the following: -20% price hikes for season pass (payment pre April 3rd) -elimination of being able to pay in2 instalments : paying 1/2 up front and the other half in September (They want ALL your $$ NOW, before April 3 !!!) -elimination of one seniors age category 60-80 yrs so a 70 yr old will be paying in excess of 25% more -they have eliminated the "half-price season pass" For next season pass for a 75 year old at Mont Tremblant is $175. At Mont Blanc DOUBLE that. We are part of a large group of who have brought up our families in the Mont Blanc ski school, had family passes and individual passes for well over 30 years. While everyone understands increased costs and the necessity for pricing adjustments, it is unfortunate the the new administration has given absolutely NO CONSIDERATION for the relationship and loyalty developed between us, the Robinson Family and the former administrative team led by Joanne Alford. It is also unfortunate that after many happy years at Ski Mont Blanc the new administration has taken a cavalier approach to the their established client base that will force many of us to look elsewhere.
