Great pics! I was just there a couple of weeks ago with the North East Chapter, PCA, and had a blast. I have about 20 days there and LOVE it. IMHO this is the best circuit in the north east. The Glen is bigger, Mosport is faster, Calabogie is newer, but none have it all like Tremblant...perfect condition, safe, long, lots of elevation changes, and surrounded by literally unlimited things to do and incredibly beautiful moutains everywhere. Most folks bring their family and everyone has a blast. And the food? OMG! Dozens of world class French, Italian, Swiss restaurants to die for, they're everywhere, competing viciously.

BTW, if anyone can get out there (good news it's a weekend event!) the Boston Chapter of the BMWCCA has an event there in August (9-10), with instructors and advanced also getting a full day to themselves on the 8th. Yes, you can bring your PCar, there's no vehicle screening whatsoever.

It's still open (until 3 August), here's the link:

Boston Chapter BMW CCA - Ultimate Calendar Event

Here's a hint/suggestion if this is your first time, or even if you're a Tremblant veteran....stay away from the "Cartoon Village"...the one at the base of the ski resort. It's a rip off, it's noisey, it's crowded, and it's owned by InterWest (who are building and selling cheesy condos all over the mountain) and are leading a campaign to close the track...as you can hear it from the mountain sometimes. Meanwhile, dozens of independent B&Bs (such as http://www.crystal-inn.com/) are owned and operated by locals who want to keep the track as they get a lot of business from it. Plus, you'll save money and be that much closer to the real restaurants in the area (NOT at the mountain) which are dramatically better.
