Tremblant’s winter season officially opens with a bang

Tremblant officially rolled out its iconic red carpet to celebrate the opening of the 2023-24 ski season on Thursday, November 23 starting at 8:30 am. To get the winter off to a flying start, the traditional ribbon cut kicked off the day with the adrenaline boosted rush to the Gondola. Skiers and snowboarders were greeted with hot chocolate, music, Toufou the mascot, and an honour walk created by resort employees for an electrifying launch atmosphere.
