Mont Tremblant
Just 90 minutes northwest of Montreal, this Canadian resort is considered by many to be the best in the Northeast. With a festive village in the base area and an $800 million expansion underway, it’s often favorably compared to resorts in the Alps (expect 94 runs and 13 lifts, including five high-speed quad lifts and a panoramic gondola). Most importantly, for those looking for a place that will virtually guarantee a snowboarding teenager’s happiness (no small feat, perhaps), rest assured: The resort’s 30-acre terrain park, which includes an Olympic-caliber half-pipe and a tunes-blasting sound system, was rated by Ski Magazine as one of the best in North America. Don’t be afraid to let the pre-teens tag along as well; there’s a daycare for kids ages 1 to 6, as well as an ice labyrinth, ice-skating rink, and evening tubing. Kids ages 7 and up can take advantage of snowboarding lessons while 3 is the minimum age for ski lessons. www.tremblant.ca
