Cheap Winter Vacation
For those looking for some affordable winter vacations, Anne Banas has written an intersting article called ‘affordable winter fun in Quebec’s countryside’
“With ski resorts in nearby Vermont charging around $60 to $80 for a full-day adult lift ticket, the Eastern Townships’ slopes are a bargain by comparison. One of the area’s best-kept secrets is the family-focused Owl’s Head, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary and has been privately run by the same owner since its humble beginnings. Here, adults will pay no more than $36 CAD for a full day of skiing. Mind-boggling promotions such as $15 CAD tickets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and “Carte Blanche,” where skiers ride the lifts for $28 CAD and get their fifth visit free, bring the cost down further. Other area mountains, including Mont Orford, Bromont and Mont Sutton also remain affordable, with lift tickets in the $40 CAD range. The Eastern Townships have some of the biggest mountains in Quebec, which means small prices don’t necessarily mean small skiing.”
