Kristen from Massachusetts is back on Trip Tales! She previously shared all about her family’s catamaran trip through the British Virgin Islands, and this time she’s taking us to Mont Tremblant, Quebec.Kristen, a mom of two, traveled with her family of four, including her 10-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son, plus a few other families, for a Presidents Day weekend ski trip in February 2026. Mont Tremblant is just north of Montreal, and Kristen shares why it felt like a European ski vacation without actually flying to Europe.From the cozy European-style base village to hearing French spoken all around them, eating crepes, skiing as a family, and soaking up the charming winter vibes, this trip felt special, memorable, and surprisingly attainable.This episode is available to watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kelseygravesIf you’d like to share about your trip on the podcast, email me at: kelsey@triptalespodcast.comBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/kelseygravesFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsey_gravesFollow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mskelseygravesJoin us in the Trip Tales Podcast Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1323687329158879Mentioned in this episode:- Kristen's previous BVIs by Catamaran episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/british-virgin-islands-chartering-a-catamaran-with/id1731455602?i=1000704284005- Heated Vest Link: https://go.shopmy.us/p-54614828- Mont Tremblant VRBO: https://www.vrbo.com/3645640- MONT TREMBLANT: South side (village side) vs. North side, Navigation recommendation: When you get off the shuttle bus, do not go to the first gondola (which heads to a casino).
