One of the great ski village experience in North America. Absolutely worth it if you’re looking for something more than just skiing. Best time to visit is March as the mountain features sun exposed runs like the Algonquin on Versant Soleil or the Erik Guay, my favourite. Most interesting place to eat if you’re looking for an outdoor setting is the Fairmont Hotel newly renovated terrace.
Nice resort ! However, it was very crowded and the waiting time could be pretty long (45min) for a chairlift.
Very diversified trails, going from complete beginner to off trails in the woods 👍
Note : parking is 40$ for the day !

In short, it's not worth the price of admission, at least on weekends. The best way I can describe it is that it has the surface appearance, the lift prices, and the crowds of a large professional resort; however, it has the management and congestion of a small hill. It lacks sufficient signage, proper staff directing long lines to ensure efficiency and fairness, lodge space and food service speed, and I also have hardly seen any ski patrollers on the hills despite the large number of tickets sold.
In my opinion, they oversold given the resources and condition, choosing revenue over experience. 28 minute lift lines... no thank you.
I have been to Mont Blanc once previously, and that experience was much better (especially for the lower price), so I would likely return there next time.

Love this place, super beautiful, great restaurants, coffee shops, stores and outdoor activities. Stay in the village is the best strategy to follow, you can basically walk everywhere. Family and kids will have a bless time here.
Very nice place to visit if you lucky to get snow early in the season. People are nice, roads are disappointing in and out of the town, they need some major repairs. What I didn’t like is the prices of the lift tickets. It’s pricey for what you get. 7 times up for $165 since the lines are so long. And if you want to go up just once without skies it’s $80? Holy macro.
It’s a great place to hang out , ski etc. The ski school is good. You can have kids under 12 in an all day prog (9:30am-3:30 pm) with a supervised lunch. The lunch is often mostly terrible and you are not allowed food from home.
Instructors are good , the older seasoned instructors share more feedback post a lesson. Some of the younger ones often didn’t give any feedback.
The village gets super busy especially for lunch. You can’t make reservations for all places.
Do note - the rental for the skis is a lift ride up to the base area.
I would recommend it for sure. Just be prepared for some crowds. Dogs on leash allowed. You can’t take the gondola with a dog , you need to walk.

This is a breathtaking view of fall foliage. Nowhere in the world can surpass the harmony of autumn leaves here. I think it is a place you must visit at least once in your life.
