Join us for 6 fabulous days in Quebec.  If you've never been to Quebec's Carnival before - this trip is a MUST.  If you have been, you know it's hard to fit in all the festivities let alone three days of skiing.  With this trip you can do it all!!  The largest and oldest winter carnival in the world, the Quebec Winter Carnival is a must-see event that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over participate in the many activities taking place mainly outdoors, under the leadership of Bonhomme Carnaval, the king of the party.

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, Old Québec is the most intact fortified town north of Mexico, retaining its colonial architecture for over 400 years. It is the historic and cultural heart of Québec City, and the birthplace of French North America.  Wander through Petit-Champlain, one of the oldest shopping streets in North America, and discover the historic gems found inside the walls, including the fortified walls and ramparts. Explore the shops and marina of Old Port, and soak in the atmosphere of the Plains of Abraham and Parliament Hill.

Mont Saint Anne boasts 69 trails spread across three sides of the mountain offering ski terrain for all abilities.  Enough terrain to keep us busy for two days.  Mont Ste Anne is also noted for their impeccable snow conditions. Seek out the Sugar Shack for some snow taffy - a Canadian novelty.

We also have one day of skiing at Le Massif which has the highest vertical east of the Canadian Rockies and offers 52 trails and glades, Fifty-three percent (53%) of the trails are rated very difficult (double black) to get your quads burning.  If double blacks are not your thing, no worry, there is top to bottom skiing for all abilities - and the views are incredible as the slopes appear to run right into the Saint Lawrence River.
