We were standing at the base lift line clipping in and found that my wife's ski binding had never been adjusted to fit her boots. It took a good 15 minutes to adjust the bindings to fit her boots. If we were unable to adjust the bindings we would have had to get out of the ski gear and back in the car. Drive back To Below Zero take everything back in the store to have the skis adjusted. Then drive back to the ski slopes and hopefully find parking. This whole endeavor would have cost us, at the minimum, a half day and not to mention the shitty attitude for the remainder of the day. The skis should have never made it out the door, this is an essential basic skill rental adjustment.

So I got some new cross country ski. I know Intersport aren't specialized in cross country skiing…read morebut since I'm not a pro I figured out it would do the job. This store share the space with the Atmosphere banner; it's an open space and the materials is mixed up together. So as a customer you don't know from what banner your article is from. Since there's only one cash it's not a big deal. Unless there's a sale, like today. The sale could be applied on Intersport items only (they sell many brand). Since nothing is labeled as Intersport or Atmosphere (like the Salomon brand is sold by Atmosphere but you need to ask to know) it's really really confusing for a costumer to figure out on what you can apply the discount. Anyhow, with the help of a very patient sale lady and the manager (and my mom who knows what to ask when it comes to cross country ski and who's a fierce negotiator) I did purchase a full equipment. It was complicated but I got a real good deal (thanks mom!). I just find the 2 banners being under the same roof and cash quite confusing...

I give this place a 10 for beauty and design, and a 2 for customer service, which is inexcusable…read morefor "upscale, luxury" accommodations. They are great at marketing but do not deliver. A couple of weeks ago, there was a power outage in the area during our entire stay, and while the lovely women who arrange the food and act as concierges tried to do what they could, the owner was completely MIA for the whole weekend. Unreachable to anyone. There was only one generator on the property for the cafe/dining area, which my boyfriend was able to get started. We, along with 4 other couples, had no lights in our cabins, no Wifi, no use of their famous Nordic hot tub, nor any coffee for the whole weekend. Now one could say this was a fancy camping experience gone awry, and that "these things happen," but not at $340 a night. With power outages being common in Quebec, you would think that a "luxury retreat" would be better prepared but no; they are too cheap to have more than one generator around. No maintenance person to help out over such a weekend, or to even replace our torn screen door -- which let in all the aggressive mosquitoes. I have never had to write a review like this, but I emailed the owner (twice) to discuss these grievances and he never replied, let alone reach out to his guests and offer some kind of acknowledgment, apology or any form of compensation for our weekend so being compromised. They are indeed money-driven. $5 for an extra towel in the bathroom. $50 fee for early arrival and $50 for late departure. Exorbitant food prices. And as I've pointed out, zero accountability to the guests, even in the case of what could be qualified as a bonafide emergency. An amateur and cynical way to run a business. Beware.

I did not expect to find something like Farouche - Tremblant. This review could be titled "A…read moreComedy of Errors." I also thought it would be appropriate to put up on the first day of spring. It was a Sunday last fall and I was headed to the village at the base of Mont-Tremblant. I did not expect there to be so many people and that parking would be difficult ... and that it would be expensive. It looked like I needed to amend my plans. I kept driving east into the national park, where the entrance fee is acceptable, and would later worry about where I would eat. As I drove a little ways east of Mont-Tremblant, I saw that there was a casino and that it, too, had quite a few cars in its parking lots. I don't like casinos, so I wasn't thinking of eating at one, even if they had a buffet, especially since I don't like the idea of there being a casino at or near Mont-Tremblant. Right before driving into the national park, there was a small cluster of buildings that looked "new." There were some parked cars in the parking lot. It looked like there might be food. I went into the national park and then returned to this location upon exiting the park. I had found Farouche. Inside, I found a bistro, a bar and counter, and a small area with some groceries and supplies. I was given a very friendly greeting by the proprietors. (They even told me that my French was good.) I asked about what they had to eat. They had several things to choose from, so I sat down. Note that there are tall windows all around, so this brought the surrounding mountain scenery into the modern, woodsy space. Given that I would be eating again later, I had squash soup, a chocolate chip cookie, and hot tea. The squash was sourced at their own farm that is in close proximity to Farouche's bistro-store. It was the best squash soup I have ever had! It was served with tasty bread that had olives in it. The chocolate chip cookie was good and, with the small teapot, I was able to make a few cups of tea. This is what I call comfort food! They also had other things, with a nearby table having ordered a charcuterie board and wine. They, too, were taking in the beautiful autumnal mountain setting. Farouche also has a unique type of "hebergement" (that would be lodging to Anglophones). This lodging is offered in these strongly vertical A-shaped cabins, which may be actually called something else. Be it the hebergement or the bistro-store, they have that look that is a fusion of Nordic and "recycled '70s," the latter of which has been coming back into style, albeit updated for the 2010s and looking less hippie-dippy in the process. Farouche has been featured in the local and professional press for its avant-garde and interesting lodging facilities in tune with their natural surroundings. They also have options for "plein air." I believe that, in French, this means "the (great) outdoors." That would imply that they can supply and you can rent things with which to recreate. You would have to look into that and their lodging arrangements. I stopped by to get something to eat. I have been leading into a 4 star rating all along. Yes, I found Farouche to be a 4 star experience. And, for how natural and organic everything is, I could even attempt to be funny and come up with 4 makeshift French words to support this: "Un petit peu granole" Farouche is immediately before the Parc National de Mont-Tremblant's Lac-Superieur entrance. There is a small parking lot in which there will undoubtedly be a place for your Subaru. In this area, one could actually justify owning one.

From Montréal, it took hubs an hour and a half to enjoy a few rounds of snow tubing up here. Adventures Neige is all about tubing with two slopes- one steeper than the other...I chose the baby. Find out if you can pre-book your tubing experience. But buying tickets from the main office- more like a multipurpose space (needs better ventilation with all the food smells going on) with a cafeteria/concession stand and a few other things is your gateway. Once you're outside, you're front and center with snow and nature. Fire place, picnic tables, benches and happy vibes is what you see on the balcony- plus the 2 slopes further out you go. I was straight up with the guy working the tubes and slopes and told him I've never done this- but he guided me and explained a few things and down I went like that! Hubs and I had the option to go together with the steering ropes attached to each other- but we wanted to go solo. There are a few deals and packages- but hubs got the CAD$22 per person, 2-hr unlimited tubing. Quite honestly, although it was totally exhilarating, a few rounds is all we needed after a while. Listen... There's nothing quite like the thrill of zooming down a snowy-icy slope in a damn tube. And even though we didn't enjoy the complete 2 hours, hubs and I had a blast! This is where I let all my inhibitions go!!!
