Canada is a foreign country; they ski differently there

Article Abstract:

The ski resort of Mont Tremblant, located 120km from Montreal, Canada, was created in 1938. It has received extensive investment from Intrawest, which also owns the Whistler resort, and is now regarded as the best resort on north America's eastern seaboard. Its Nansen green run is extremely attractive, and its two ski faces are heavily wooded. Its nightlife is rather quiet and dignified, and it is dominated by the English language, rather than French.
