Tremblant rolls out its iconic red carpet to celebrate the opening of the 2023-24 ski season today, starting at 8:30 am. To get the winter off to a flying start, the traditional ribbon cut kicks off the day with the rush to the Gondola. Skiers and snowboarders will be greeted with hot chocolates, music, Toufou the mascot and an honour walk created by resort employees for an electrifying launch atmosphere.
The brand-new RFID technology terminals are now up and running, allowing skiers and snowboarders to pass through the gates at the lifts to reach the top of the mountain. Simply place your ski pass or ticket in the top left-hand pocket of your coat for easier reading and contactless opening of the gates.
This is a very special start to the winter season, as the snowmaking teams have been working since October 29 to cover the Flying Mile run in preparation for the World Cup event, on December 2 and 3, but also to prepare for the Tremblant 24H event, held the following week. For the opening of the 2023-24 ski season, 6 trails on 2 slopes, including one top-to-bottom run on the North side and a second to mid-mountain on the South side, will be open to the first skiers and snowboarders.
Runs and lifts open from Thursday, November 23:
Runs :
- P’tit Bonheur
- Beauchemin bas
- Beauvallon haut
- La Crête
- Alpine
- Onésime for ski and snowboard beginners
Lifts :
- Duncan Express
- Lowell Thomas Express
- TGV
- Gondola to get to the top and return to the South side

A few modules on the upper Alpine run are already ready for snow park enthusiasts. Over the weekend, 3 additional trails are scheduled to open, thanks to colder temperatures starting on Friday, which will allow snowmaking to continue and be completed on these runs. Elsewhere on the mountain, snowmaking is continuing, with trails opening gradually over the coming weeks.
The best way to stay tuned, especially about snow conditions and gradual trail openings, Tremblant’s mobile app is an essential source of information.
