How ’bout Collingwood, Ontario ~ Canada’s Tahoe http://travel.blizzardemail.com/2008/11/26/canada-eh-how-bout-collingwood-ontario-canadas-tahoe/ http://travel.blizzardemail.com/2008/11/26/canada-eh-how-bout-collingwood-ontario-canadas-tahoe/#comments Wed, 26 Nov 2008 22:33:56 +0000 MattSmith http://travel.blizzardemail.com/?p=684 Blue Mountain Ski, Collingwood, OntarioIt has always been my dream to live in a place where there are mountains and water co-exisitng side by side.  The place that comes to mind is Lake Tahoe in California.  You can snow-ski in the winter time and water-ski in the summertime and enjoy activities all year-round.

Canada boasts of a place that is similar in dynamic terrain; Collingwood, Ontario.  This area just happens to be Ontario’s #1 destination for year-round fun and adventure.  Collingwood is home to the Blue Mountain Ski Resort which has over 30 trails ranging from green (easy) to double black (expert).  Blue Mountain Resort is a Intrawest Resort which is the same developers as Whistler and Blackhomb.  I have heard only good things about Whistler/Blackhomb so I can imagine what Blue Mountain must be like.

Blue Mountain Resort, Collingwood, OntarioThe town of Collingwood, Ontario embraces a full year of activity by being a 4 season destination.  You can find Italian and Moroccan cuisine and also local seafood prepared in a multiple amount of ways.  A good variance in dining experiences is having the traditional style along side the modern bistro where you can taste the local history and enjoy the modern conveniences of today.

If you are planning a trip to Ontario’s recreation destination know as Collingwood and Blue Mountain you will find accommodations in the form of condos, lodges and chalets that are either slope-side or just a short walk to the local retail amenities.

Add some sparkling lakes, clear streams teaming with fish, a variety of unique golf courses and a world class ski mountain and you have Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada.

This Laurentian Mountain resort is one of those rare places where all four seasons allow visitors to realize their vacation dreams. In the winter, it offers not just alpine skiing, but ice skating, sledding, ski touring, snowshowing and comaraderie around blazing bonfires – all in the fairytale setting of a winter wonderland.

While the other three seasons can surprise you with just about any kind of weather, you will not be at a loss for things to do. Hiking, mountain biking, fishing and golf are some of the most popular activities in the Spring and Fall.

Summertime brings out the swimmers, windsurfers and boaters, as well as those seeking to enjoy a huge variety of wildflowers, birds, butterflies and mushrooms.

Canada may seem like a world away, but Mont Tremblant can be reached by direct flights from several major US cities and the area is just a 1-2 hour drive from Quebec and Montreal.
