Final Showdown
Quebec, Canada Mar. 1-8, 2008
 

An old world vacation awaits you but you don’t have to endure an 8-hour airplane ride to get there.  A walled city, the only one in North America, is just minutes away and you only have to change one time zone.  Jet lag, I don’t think so - not in this adventure.  We will fly into Montreal and then bus along the frozen banks of the St. Lawrence River to the “old city” district to your hotel, the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, a first class hotel that defines first class. Once you have unpacked, your choices will overwhelm you.  You can ski at one of three mountains:  Stoneham is 20 minutes away, where the locals go to ski after work on the lighted trails, and where the boarders enjoy three terrain parks; Mont-Sainte Anne is 30 minutes away, also lighted and facing the St. Lawrence River; Le Massif is 45 minutes away, the largest and most picturesque of the three.  Le Massif is an upside down mountain where you arrive at the top and ski down to the lifts.  These three resorts have over 260 inches of natural snow each year, over 6,000 feet of vertical drop, a mountain playground of some 4,500 acres, and an impressive total of 141 ski and snowboard trails for all levels.  Access the ski slopes on special ski buses every day from the hotel.

If you prefer, get involved in one of the 400^th Anniversary Festivities celebrating the founding of the city, or explore the old city with its winding streets and unique one- of- a-kind shops while you try out your high school French.  With all the activities, you will get hungry but don’t despair, there’s over 1,000 restaurants to discover.  After dinner, enjoy the nightlife at one of the 75 bars and night clubs within walking distance from your hotel.

Soak up the history, This is truly old world experience with new world convenience.  Don’t miss out, the deadline is fast approaching.

Cost:  $1,396, Oct. $900, Nov. $300, Dec. $196 plus lift tickets.
