Ski With Family

Our take

Canada is in scope. Tremblant is the easiest international trip for an East Coast family, and it is competitive with a Vermont week on cost when the dollar behaves. I would not skip Smugglers' for it if I had a toddler and a Treasures reservation. I would look at it hard if I already owned Ikon and wanted a village.

Best for: East Coast Ikon families who will use a passport and a village.

Go

Village that works after 3:30
Ikon + exchange rate vs. a Vermont luxury week

Watch

Eastern snow
Care details still soft
A border

Best time: The published Kids Ski Free Week, or a January week when Vermont is also a drive. Avoid: Assuming every week is the free week. Assuming no one needs a passport.

Village is the meal. Exchange rate helps.

Ski-in village if you pay for it.

The most European pedestrian village in this database. Strollers, gelato, a fake-but-functional cobblestone core.
