Mornings at their best
Some people says that days are shorter
during winter? Actually, this is all wrong in Tremblant!
December 22nd are beginning ``First Tracks``.
On selected days, early birds have the chance to race down
the slopes of the North Side, from 8 h to 9 h, before the
opening of the mountain. Tremblant waits for skiers and
snowboarders as early as 7 h 15 at the Télécabine
Express. Before racing down the mountain, they can
enjoy the panorama and savour the delicious breakfast
buffet of the Grand Manitou. Tremblant invites you to live
mornings at their best on December 22-23 and to repeat the
experience from December 27 to 30. The ``First Tracks``
2002 are scheduled for January 3 to 6, and on January
12-13, 19-20, 26-27 weekends. Enjoy also the early
mornings on February 2-3 and 9-10 weekends and from
February 16 to 24. Before winter becomes history, treat
yourself and begin skiing at 8 h every weekend of March..
Braving gravity
December 22nd, Tremblant’s
Gravity Park is celebrating his third anniversary and
invites snowboarders and freeskiers to brave gravity on

North America. The Park’s main attraction is a 5 meters

with a 19° incline. The Park

different ski piste from the North Side makes easy
the access to the Gravity Park.
The Mini Gravity Park, especially

test their skills. This miniature version of the original
Gravity Park offers a 2,5 meters (8 foot) high and 69
meters (225 foot) long half-pipe, including jumps, bumps
and slopes to rehearse figures.
Experience the night
At Tremblant, a ski day is never
enough. Fortunately, the Soirées de Glisse Volkswagen,
starting December 29th, prolong the Tremblant’s
experience every Wednesdays and Saturdays evening from 18
h 30 to 22 h. This season, Tremblant gives sleepless
nights a new meaning with Équilibre, the new enlightened ski
piste where people can race down on skis and snowboard
or slide on trips, saucers and GT racers. All equipments
are available on site.
The Équilibre zone has also a new snow
