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.

This place is huge! There's about 40 picnic tables all over the place, kayak rentals, peddle boats,…read morecanoes, 2 volley ball nets , and a whole park. I had a fantastic time every day I came here, it wasn't busy as its end of summer so right up my alley. On the side of the beach there's more privacy and less people that's where we hung out for the days we were there. The beach is rocky but not all parts it's not bad enough that you need water shoes so don't worry. For kids at 4 pm there's story time which seems to be a big hit! Friendly staff at the booth I had a young man named William who rented us a 2 person kayak which I've never been in before I loved it ! The lake is so pure so fresh and just really relaxing.

Hmmm unless you're a serious hunter or fisher (and willing to pay out the a$$ for access to fish or…read moreto hunt): skip this campground. Location: Above Mont Tremblant. It's beautiful and totally disconnected (except for the loggers that bomb through). In the middle of an absolute ZERO SERVICE area. A good 20 kms from the camp Acceuil you lose total cell and internet service, no data, no bars. Nada. Don't be dumb like me: warn your family before you hit the park that you'll be outta service! Nearest gas station is in Labelle a good 30 minutes away, so make sure you fill up before! Campsites: Confusing as fook. I would love to have included a map here (and I've done my best folks, see photos), but there's not much of a coherent map that really shows everything in a glance. This park is HUGE in all sense of the word and I highly recommend just contacting me directly if you're planning a trip here. I can help you try to plan the best possible option for you. Using the website is only half helpful, unfortunately. That being said, we did actually enjoy the shitty placement of our tiny campsite number 35 when we came. More about the sites: definitely use the website for photos of them (every site is extremely different), but it is worth mentioning that the only 5 sites you can stay in (with a dog) anywhere near the Acceuil/bathrooms/water points are sites 35 through 39 which are literally right in front of the Acceuil, visible through the trees. Every single vehicle that passes by and checks in is visible and audible. Still, when no cars were passing it was extremely peaceful with barely any visitors between. Site 35 had a nice forest on one side and luckily with no neighbors at site 36* it made for a fairly private experience, considering. *36* is actually the nicer waterfront site than ours- it has a lovely little private rock beach just big enough for 2. Scenery: Trees and lakes and mountains. Pretty. And that's about it. No hiking trails no gorgeous viewpoints. Typical Québec forestry. Weather: We were lucky, no rain. Unlike other mountainous territories we've been in, surprisingly here clouds don't ALWAYS mean rain, so relying on the weather app BEFORE you arrive is a good way to plan your stay. Weather was pretty much exactly as Google said it would be for that area, if not slightly more warm. Commodities/Accommodations: Park store is the entrance kiosk "Acceuil la Macaza"; there are touristy souvenirs to buy (tshirts, sweaters, waterbottles etc), though I'm not sure why anyone would feel the need to commemorate their visit here. They also sell: - Ice (~4$ per bag of block or cubes) - Wood (~6.5$ decent sized bundle, burns great, but quick, kept dry inside the store) - other items: variety of emergency-type camping gear; ice cream; worms etc - Fishing permit 21$ PER PERSON (on top of buying your Québec fishing license they charge you PER DAY HERE TO FISH, plus you can ONLY fish on a boat, no shore fishing except at some of the much, much, much, more isolated campsites) - Hunting permit: yes you would have to pay daily for this too, but I don't hunt and can't imagine how much more they must charge for THOSE rights .. Bathrooms: one full service flush toilet shower even laundry bathroom all the way at the beginning of the campsites in Lac Sucrerie, otherwise a few porta pottys scattered about. Water: is drinkable, thankfully, but there are no water access points whatsoever past the Lac Sucrerie campsite area. Even from site 35 we had to walk 10 minutes to and from the nearest faucet. Activities: If you bring your dog and don't want to pay any $$$ extras then there's literally absolutely NOTHING to do. Nothing at all. Can't fish off your site. No hiking trails (but that's for everyone, not only if you have a dog). No access to any beach. Nuthin. Bupkiss. So if pure relaxation is what you're after: this is your spot, there's nothing to do BUT relax. Wildlife: saw a doe run across the highway a good 10-15km from the entrance on our way in, no other deer sightings though. Supposedly bear country, but it just didn't have that "feel" to it. Also, the park didn't have a single strict sign explaining how you can't leave anything at all on your site in bear country which I found recklessly odd considering it says it is bear country. Supposedly wolves too, but didn't see any evidence either. Buncha kool lil birds, as usual, some woodpeckers, not many birds of prey as I was expecting (don't think we saw any..). Coupla frogs. Chipmunks. Pretty standard fare, but surprisingly boring for a reserve. So we had a very pleasant weekend relaxing, the staff were very sweet, but we will never be back and said as such in our Sépaq survey.

If you're even slightly considering on going dog sledding, just do it!…read more Dog sledding was something thats been on my bucket list so for our trip to Quebec, we decided to look up several spots. Alaskan Adventure seemed promising and is located near Mont Tremblant which was about 1.5 hours from Montreal. They offer two packages, one that includes transportation and one without. The transportation option is an additional fee that provides pick up and drop off to the Mont Tremblant resort area but I'm not exactly sure how that works since we drove there ourselves. The team at Alaskan Adventure were extremely welcoming, fun, and professional. You can tell that they are truly passionate and love what they do. The pack consists of 60+ dogs that are all well cared for. The dogs looked very healthy and happy, are well trained, super friendly, and ready to run. Your adventure starts with an introduction on how to drive the sled, then you'll help harness the dogs and off you go for the one hour ride. Halfway through, you'll get a break for the dogs to rest and for you to enjoy some hot chocolate and cookies inside a little cabin. You are able to play with the dogs and take plenty of pictures during this time as well. This is your chance to switch drivers! When you arrive back to the kennel, you get to reward the dogs with some treats and are able to meet the rest of the pack. If you're lucky, they might even have some pups for you to play with! We got to meet 5 month old Eclipse and Misty this season. You get to stick around the kennel for as long as you'd like and then head back to the main lodge where warm soup is served. During this time, you get to see all the pictures and videos their photographer took during your adventure. Here are some things to know: 1. If you book the 3:30pm slot, the dogs would already be harnessed and ready to go to ensure that you'll have enough time for the entire activity before sunset. We didn't know this prior to booking but that was okay with us and appreciated that Sonia quickly reached out via email to let us know. She was also very responsive to any additional questions we had. 2. You have the opportunity to purchase the photos/videos taken during your adventure for CA$50, which I think you should because they take lots of nice pictures of you to keep for memories. Their photographer was on standby alongside different parts of the trail to capture your best moments. 3. Bring cash so you can tip your guides as well because they certainly deserve it! I'm not sure if they mention that but there's a tip box at the front check in desk where you can drop it in. 4. Lastly, be sure to dress warmly and bring out the snow pants, boots, and gloves. We were prepared but was told that they do have some spares if we needed it. We had an amazing time at Alaskan Adventure and have so many great things to say about our experience. The entire process from booking to sledding was a breeze. Sonia, Max, and the entire team (dogs included) were wonderful and I would HIGHLY recommend booking this excursion with them. It's the perfect winter activity thats fit for all ages and skill levels.

The trip up the mountain and through the forestry to get to the meet-up location was a bit rough as it was our first time in the snow so give yourself plenty of time to make the drive and arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled reservation. My husband was unprepared for the weather, and Marjorie made sure to find him some good pants & boots to use during our adventure. Once we were ready to go, we met up with the rest of our group at the kennels. The dogs were super excited to see us and couldn't wait to get to their sleds. Once we arrived we were able to help run our dogs to our sleds and set them up in their harnesses. Each team was chosen specifically with the riders in mind. After a lesson on how to drive our sleds, we were off! The entire sled trip was an hour long, but it is split into two 30 minute runs to give you a chance to warm up and switch passengers/drivers if you'd like. The dogs seemed most happy while pulling their sleds. It really is an incredible thing to see working dogs doing what they were bred to do. It was obvious that the dogs were loved, happy, and well cared for. The owners, Max & Sonia, and the guides, Irkaël, Marjorie, & Nicolas knew each of their dogs very well (there were lots of them!) and who each dog did and didn't get along with, what they liked to do, etc. Overall this was an absolutely unforgettable, once in a life time experience. Thank you so so much to Max & Sonia for their dedication to the dog world and this beautiful sport of dog sledding. Oh, and thank you to our amazing team: BoomBoom, Tina, Zorro, Igap, Mathis, and Balto!

Obviously this is because they want to keep lower staff and be more profitable in the month of June. Of course they still charge full price around 40$ so we'd expect to have access to a functioning park lol

I love water parks and Mont Saint-Sauveur scratched that itch for me…read more It's a high quality, clean water park with a number of activities to be had for children of all ages. You're rewarded with a beautiful scenic view as you're spending time on a mountain slope over-viewing nature. This is even more apparent since I came here on a beautiful sunny day and even enjoyed myself even when I waited in line to do the rides. Sure, the wait can be 15-20 minutes long but that's part of the game. I simply couldn't help myself and wanted to look at the beautiful horizon as I passed the time. The lobby area consists of a huge ski lodge where you can change and in the winter, keep warm. Yes, this slope is also used to ski. The park itself has about 20 slides of various levels of difficulty. There's traditional attractions like the pool with waves, the lazy river and the such. I really liked "the manic" which is a lazy river for advanced people who get to pushed down stream by waves, sometimes so big you can be tossed into the water. The cascades was also another favorite of mine. There's a big section for small children, so parent/child can keep themselves busy. A few tips : - I would suggest coming during the weekday as it gets quite busy during weekends, it was still quite busy even though we went on a Wednesday. - Buy your tickets online the day before, the money you save it quite notable. - Get some water shoes, walking barefoot for hours on asphalt wasn't the most exciting experience.

We loved every second of our time spent with the staff (and dogs!) at Expedition Wolf. Besides getting to play in the snow with dogs for a couples hours, the staff is so wonderful, knowledgeable, patient, and friendly.. and that makes all the difference! My husband is not easily impressed, but I could not (and still cant!) get him to stop raving about how much fun he had doing this. It's about a 20-30 min drive from the hotels around the Pedestrian Village (we stayed at the Fairmont), but fear not by fellow yelpers, they will pick you up at your hotel and drive you round trip, complimentary! Taking a camera is a MUST, however they have a photographer who snaps lots of photos and takes some video as well, and before you leave will put together a DVD for you to purchase so you can have all of the pictures videos taken of you.. they literally take the time to separate each individual or couple and sort through the pictures, so that your disc has pictures of you, and not total strangers on it. So nice! They also offer you some yummy snacks afterwards to hold you over until you return to your hotel- things like hot soup, cookies, lemonade, etc. One thing I will suggest is that you use the bathroom before you leave your hotel, because while they do offer one, they only offer ONE. The entire process is so memorable. You are able to help harness up the dogs, and while this part can be a little hard (not recommended for the little ones), it's cool to learn the dogs' names, ages, backgrounds, and help out! The dogs are SUPER excited when you start.. I mean, it's like 250 kids on Christmas morning all opening presents at the same time, kind of excited.. it's so cool! They obviously love what they do! Basically, I could go on and on and on and on about this, because there arent enough good things to say, so I'll just leave you with this- PLEASE, if you find yourself in Mont-tremblant, do this! You will not regret it, I assure you!
