Tremblant, Que  Tremblant, Que  Travel East By Ken Castle
posted: 02/02/2006  The slopes in the Laurentian
mountains—Better known for gentle pitches and hardwood vistas
than extreme skiing—are only one reason to visit Tremblant, a
Quebec resort whose future was dubious until Intrawest bought it
and launched a major renovation in the early 1990s. In short
order, the new Tremblant earned accolades as an extraordinary
destination resort. Intrawest built a charming base village,
added runs and upgraded mountain facilities. These days, an
après-ski tour through Tremblant's European-styled village takes
you over cobbled streets, past 42 restaurants and bistros and
can be as enjoyable as swooshing down its 2,100-vertical-foot
slopes. You'll never be at a loss for something to eat or drink.
Will it be a French-roast latte at Au Grain de Café? Or Bordeaux
at La Grappe à  Vin? Mais oui, à  chacun son
