There are few things that tug on my heartstrings quite like dogs do. So when my daughters and I had the opportunity to try dogsledding in Mont Tremblant we jumped at the chance. Dogsledding is as old as Canada and it's origins can be traced back to our northern Aboriginal people. When fur traders and explorers arrived on the scene they found dogsledding a most efficient way to get around town. The rest as they say is history; dogsledding is as Canadian as maple syrup, back …
Budget, Gourmet and Unique Dining Options In Mont Tremblant
One of the best things about dining in Tremblant is the wide array of options available to suit every budget and taste. For me though, one of Tremblant's biggest draws is that everything you could possibly crave sits in the pedestrian village at the base of the mountain.

The Mont Tremblant Snowshoe and Fondue Tour Is Winter Fun for Active Families
You probably landed here by googling something like "Is the Mont Tremblant snowshoe and fondue hard?" or "Will I plummet to my death off the side of a mountain in the dark on my quest for cheese?".

Which is why I'm going …

It’s almost a shame that fall is the time when most families find their rhythm with a return to a regular routine of work and school, instead of lazing away on vacation.

Throw in changing colours that make all our favourites even more beautiful and it’s a wonder Ontarians don’t collectively call in sick during the …
Analog Vacationing in Ontario’s Southwest, or, “How I Convinced My Teenager to Put Down the Phone”
The great family road trip with Mom and Dad: parents singing show tunes with the younger kids, the surly teen sitting in the back, eyes rolling, gum chewing, and music blasting into headphones to cancel out “family experience” around him. You know the scene – it’s in any classic 80’s family road trip movie. The modern version is similar but with everyone — save the driver — staring at devices. Mom is reading historical fiction on her Kindle, little sister is playing the latest Angry Birds …
