This is seriously lame. Mont Blanc and then Calabogie leaving the DH scene within 1 week of each other. I really wanted to get out to Mont Blanc this summer, too

Sucks that it closed. I knew since it opened it won't last long cause of the competition, bromint for the number of trails(now the wc ) and sainte-Anne for the world class venue to name a few. It would of never lasted even if the trails where rad, when I went during a weekend there was 10-20 people and the weekend after at bromont I've waited 1/2 hour to get to the chairlift!!!! That's the problem mont-bland wasn't that knowned like tremblant.


R.I.P.

Have any of you guys ever ridden at Tremblant? I race there and I find the track horrible. The only section that is fun is the last rock section. The reason I go to that race is because I have a cottage there.

Alright now getting down to my point. Sorry to burst your bubble guys but Tremblant is not going to open for downhill. The hill is to far up north and wouldn’t even come close to Bromont when it comes to quality for the next ten years. Everyone says ''Tremblant this, tremblant that'' but it‘s just a tourist attraction. It’s just not a practical for riding. All I'm saying is that Tremblant would end up closing down for the same reason Mont Blanc would close down. That is unless the owners are willing to absorb the financial hit of taking on downhilling. Even if they came up with some trails, they would charge an arm and a leg for a pass, hence the fact that everyone would go to Bromont; a place that sells passes at low rate. Not to mention that even hills like Saint-Anne have a tough time matching Bromont’s high number of quality trails. The only way I can see Tremblant opening for downhilling is if our sport expands(what we need is a huge amount of new riders)

tremblant's not gonna re open any time soon
its sort of ironic how its owned by the same people who own whistler tho
tremblant has stopped trying to attract the younger age group of people in their 20s in the summer..in the winter all the skiing stops at like 4 and everyone heads to the bars but in the summer there's nothing to do at all..its not a poor hill too, if anything they have more money to throw around than bromont, it wouldnt cost them much to open up some dh runs too..but where's the point? its not like bromont is overcrowded to the point where it isnt fun anymore. and honestly tremblant for people like me would be more practical to go to, my family doesnt bike and theres stuff for them do to, same goes for in the winter too
i went to tremblant last year and went xc riding on my dj bike while my family chilled on the beach and wtv for 3 days, that would have been some rly sick days if i could have gone to ride some dh
