COMMENTS: |
RATING: |
|
Beginner Trails: |
Great appeal to the water park punters with the XC offer, and a really good, long green-trail to progress on. However, a bit pedally in places. |
 |
|
Intermediate Trails: |
Good, but limited options to go from beginner to expert. |
 |
|
Advanced Trails: |
Some great aflow, big air, and very technical gnar. |
|

Yes they are, and it includes the lower sections of the former UCI World Cup trail. |

Day Pass Value for money: |
Good on weekend, but no drop-in price during the week when the number of trails open are reduced and with a slower lift. |
|
|
Ease of parking to lift: |
Not as close as some, and arrive later in the day, and it can be already packed with water park visitors. |
|
|
Lift lines: |
It does happen, but moves fast. |
|
|
Quality of rental fleet: |
Good Rocky Mountain bikes, but needs more kids bikes. |
|
|
On-site Bike Shop: |
Not large, but has the essentials. |

COMMENTS: |
RATING: |
|
Staff friendliness: |
Security take their job seriously at the waterpark! |
|
|
Family-friendly: |
Boom – kids could spend weeks in that water park and on the alpine slide. |
 |
|
Restaurants: |
Not at the resort, but many great options requiring a short drive. Rating reflects the lack of restaurants on the resort proper. |
|
|
Nightlife: |
Not that we could find. Likely nightlife off resort property, again requiring a car drive. |
|
|
Random: |
Get Poutine! It's a must-try when in Quebec! |
