The trip to Tremblant already has about 50 people signed up, so another bus is being added with more spots. I went a few years ago, and Mont Tremblant is tons of fun. The village is beautiful (check the pics below), and the mountain itself is big enough to give you the feeling of being out west.
The trip is January 3rd through the 9th. All other details (cost, transportation, departure/arrival times) can be found at the Tremblant Trip Facebook Page.
If interested in going, get your $100 deposit in ASAP! Direct all your questions, comments, concerns, and monies to trip organizer Dr. Landscape Dan Ryder - 410.948.5855 dryder@mix.wvu.edu.

Got some nationals pics up. Eventually I'll get em in the right order and add the rest. All the pretty pictures were taken by Thurston.
WVU got some recognition with a pair of 3rd place finishes in slopestyle and halfpipe. As expected, our boarder cross and GS results were pathetic, so we wound up with 4th overall. yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
