Mountain Missy

To survive the season of snow, slush and ice were plotting restful
winter weekends on the Laurentian slopes of Mont-Tremblant, Quebec.

sleep
For
proximity to the lifts, stay at the chateau-style Fairmont
Tremblant. We love the Canadiana décor, wood-burning fireplaces and
slopeside four-poster bed Junior Suites with Hudsons Bay Point blankets.
Staff are top notch, especially Gracie the hotels yellow-lab Canine
Ambassador who takes dog-walking appointments. Rooms from $139, Fairmont
Tremblant, 3045 Chemin de la Chapelle, 866-540-4415, www.fairmont.com/tremblant

eat
Instead of casse-croûte calories, build up your
black-diamond stamina at the Fairmonts
Nansen Lounge. Chef Daniel Tobiens French Onion Soup with Tremblant
Beer and Oka Cheese ($9) is divine. Follow it up with feuilletée crusted
Alsatian Flambé Tart served on cherry wood panels and a glass of organic
Costières de Nîmes white ($10).
