Quebec may not be in the Rockies, but for anyone travelling from Europe, it's a good deal closer to home. And that means less time spent cramped up at 32,000 feet. Little wonder then (when you factor in state of the art design and fantastic conditions) that resorts like Tremblant are now almost as popular as Whistler.

Better still, some of Quebec's resorts have that dream city-to-mountain proximity that means you can hit the slopes during the day and party in one of the most fantastic cities in the world by night. Stoneham for example, with its night skiing and park terrain, is only a twenty minute drive away. Très agrèable, non?
