Skiing around Montreal?

[TheGreatAbyss]

While crossing the border can be a pain, you'll be within 2 hours of Whiteface and several VT mountains.

Perhaps this belongs in an Off-Topic thread but I'm genuinely interested in the legal, and tax logistics of "taking a job in Montreal"? Are either you or your wife CA citizens?

I took an advanced beginner to Mt. Saint Sauveur for night skiing and she had a blast. She was from the midwest and didn't care that the runs were short. She liked going fast so having a short, wide trail with no one else on it and a decent run out was the perfect setting.

The next day my friend drove us to Tremblant. She was a retired instructor so could provide some tips that made it easier for the mid-westerner to get down the much longer trails there.

The OP might move to Montreal. That's a different situation than planning a ski vacation to Québec.

No, definitely not moving to Montreal. Just might be going that way a couple times a year if wife takes the job.

Not so close to montreal but I hit Le Massif for the first time this winter and would love being 3.5 hours away from there…

My wife might just take a new job that's headquartered in Montreal. She will visit every several months or so, more when she first takes the job. I see, that there may be some skiing out there!!!! I am sooo excited.

What can you guys tell me about Mont Tremblant, Saint Bruno and Mont Saint-Sauveur? They're all close to the city.

As Warp says, Montreal is a great city. It has some really old nice places too. Their food is very good.
Folks were nice too.
Went there for work a couple times. Concerts and hockey games too while in college.
Tremblant is worth skiing visits. One side is much more built up than the other side.
We stayed at the base on the “undeveloped side”. Great place.
There was night skiing at places north of town on the drive to Tremblant.
Y’all can have fun in and around Montreal.

Just go where every other Montreal skier goes: Jay Peak.

Looks like this probably aint happening. Company my wife may have worked for has a big product recall, and they need to clean up that mess before they start hiring more peeps. Oh well.

Wife taking job in Montreal, will travel up there once a month. Sometimes I can come, perhaps. Will I be skiing local resorts? Perhaps.
