Budget, Gourmet and Unique Dining Options In Mont Tremblant

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

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. You never have to worry about starting your car to find a great meal for apres-ski, and you can forget about those plastic wrapped sandwiches and canned soup that most ski hills offer during the day; even when it's …

The Mont Tremblant Snowshoe and Fondue Tour Is Winter Fun for Active Families

By //  by Candace Sampson 3 Comments

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?".  I'm happy to say the answer to both of these questions is no.  When I first committed my family of four to the Mont Tremblant Snowshoe and Fondue Tour, I'll admit that I couldn't readily find the answers to the questions I had (see question 2 above). Which is why I'm going …

A 24 Hour Escape to Wakefield Mill & Spa in Quebec

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

Work. Work. Work. Carpool. Laundry. Work. Groceries. Clean. Work. Sigh. Life occasionally gets stalled in the mundane lane and one day you realize the most important words you've exchanged with your spouse in weeks are, "We need milk." My husband and I fell into this trap and although we knew we needed to reconnect, we couldn't figure out where the "time" was coming from. It was impossible for us to escape for a day, let alone a whole weekend. I was surprised to find out that, if …

Time is A Luxury – Bend it to Your Will

By //  by Candace Sampson 7 Comments

I am not zen. I live by the work hard, play harder philosophy. Zen moments—that is moments where I am in the moment—are few and far between. Typically when I’m working I’m dreaming of playing and vice versa. The consequence is that I’m slightly frenetic. (I can hear the sniggering from here of those that know me well.) Funny then, that I should learn to embrace zen moments on a recent excursion with Ford Canada, when they invited me along on their Back to Basics weekend in Mont Tremblant. …

5 Reasons to Rent From Airbnb on Your Next Vacation

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

Whenever I'm at home too long, I start to get the travel itch. The need to wander is strong with me and so when it comes to finding travel accommodations, I like to keep my mind open. I'm just as happy in our RV, as I am in a vacation home, or in a five-star hotel. What I do look for above all though is my three C's—clean, comfortable and convenient, which is why I'm currently crushing hard on Airbnb.     Since falling in love with skiing last year, we've been spending …
