Current Conditions
The data below represents current reported conditions. Snow depth, fresh snowfall, and operational status are updated by the resort daily, typically early morning. Structure is in place for live API integration—currently displaying representative data. Always verify conditions on the official resort website before traveling.
Mont Tremblant
Updated: Nov 24, 02:55 p.m.Hard pack to packed powder. Machine-groomed trails in excellent shape.
Understanding These Numbers
Base depth is measured at mid-mountain and represents total snow accumulation from the ground up. Deeper bases cover rocks and obstacles, generally improving safety and snow quality.
24-hour and 7-day snowfall show recent accumulation. Fresh snow excites powder seekers but can also mean reduced visibility, avalanche control delays, and slower lift operations.
Open lifts and trails indicate current operational capacity. Closures happen due to wind, avalanche mitigation, mechanical issues, or early/late season limited operations. Check which specific lifts and runs are affected—it may determine whether your planned terrain is accessible.
Terrain Breakdown
Mont Tremblant's terrain is rated as 18% beginner, 48% intermediate, and 34% advanced. These percentages reflect the distribution of marked trails and are set by the resort—ratings are not standardized across mountains, so a blue run here may differ in difficulty from a blue run elsewhere.
Beginner (18%)
Beginner trails on the South Side accessed via the Nansen lift. The learning area features magic carpets and gentle pitches. Tremblant's compact layout means beginners don't feel isolated from the main mountain action.
Intermediate (48%)
Intermediate trails dominate the South Side (Versant Soleil), with wide groomers and moderate pitches. The Kandahar and Beauchemin runs are popular cruisers. Good variety for skiers refining technique.
Advanced (34%)
North Side features the steepest terrain: narrow trails, moguls, and glades. Runs like Dynamite and Expo deliver sustained black-diamond pitches. The highest advanced percentage of the three resorts covered here.

The pedestrian village offers condos, hotels, and boutique lodges ranging from $150-600/night. Staying in the village means no car needed—everything is walkable. Off-mountain towns like Mont-Tremblant village (10 min drive) and Saint-Jovite offer budget-friendly alternatives.
Book early for best selection and rates. Midweek stays (Sunday-Thursday) cost less than weekends. Shoulder season (early December, late March) offers discounts but variable snow conditions.
Safety & Etiquette
Your Responsibility Code
- Always stay in control and be able to stop or avoid others.
- People ahead of you have the right of way.
- Stop only where you are visible from above and do not obstruct trails.
- Whenever starting downhill or merging, look uphill and yield.
- Use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
- Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails.
- Know how to use the lifts safely.
Avalanche Awareness
All marked trails at Mont Tremblant are avalanche-controlled by ski patrol. However, if you venture into backcountry or out-of-bounds areas (accessible via gates at some resorts), you enter uncontrolled terrain where avalanche danger exists.
Never duck ropes or ski closed areas. Avalanche control work may be in progress, exposing you to danger and legal consequences. If you plan to ski backcountry, carry a beacon, probe, and shovel, and take an avalanche safety course.
Emergency Contacts
In case of emergency on the mountain, contact Ski Patrol immediately. Emergency phones are located at lift stations and lodges. For medical emergencies, call 911.
This website is not an emergency service. Do not contact us for urgent mountain conditions, closures, or safety concerns. Always consult the resort directly.

Yes. The pedestrian village is compact and car-free. Lodging, restaurants, shops, and lift access are all within walking distance. It's modeled after European alpine villages and family-friendly. Parking is available at the edge of the village if you drive.
No. While Tremblant has excellent beginner terrain, 34% of trails are rated advanced (black and double-black diamonds). The North Side features steeper, narrower trails and glades. Experts will find challenge, though the mountain is smaller than Whistler or Lake Louise.
No. Staff at the resort are bilingual (English and French). Menus, signs, and services are available in both languages. Tremblant is in Quebec, so French is the primary language in surrounding towns, but you'll encounter no barriers at the resort itself.
January through early March offers the most reliable snow and coldest temperatures (best snow quality). February is busiest. Late March brings warmer spring skiing. Avoid MLK weekend and Canadian Family Day for smaller crowds.
Mont Tremblant is part of the Epic Pass network (owned by Vail Resorts). Epic Pass holders get unlimited access; Epic Local Pass has restrictions. Ikon Pass is not valid here. If you ski other Epic resorts (Whistler, Park City, Vail), the pass makes sense.
Tremblant offers ice skating, tubing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, spa services, and shopping in the pedestrian village. The casino and aquatic center provide indoor entertainment. It's one of the more well-rounded resorts for non-skiers or rest-day activities.
Yes. The North Side and Versant Soleil (South Side) are connected via lifts and trails. Most skiers start on the main South Side and venture to the North Side for steeper, less-crowded terrain. Moving between sides takes 15-20 minutes depending on route.
Tremblant is larger than most Vermont resorts (except Killington) with more vertical drop. It receives comparable snowfall and has better snowmaking. The village atmosphere is more European. If you're driving from New England, Tremblant is about the same distance as northern Vermont resorts.
Moderate. On-mountain lodging in the pedestrian village ranges from $150-300/night for condos to $300-600/night for hotels. Off-mountain accommodations in nearby towns (Mont-Tremblant village, Saint-Jovite) are cheaper. Book early for holiday periods.
