Mont Tremblant Skiing

Mont Tremblant
If you want to combine outdoor adventure and holiday giving this season, just make a trip to Mont Tremblant in the Quebec Laurentians between December 14 and 16 for the first Canadian edition of the Grand Prix 24h. Over 24 consecutive hours, four- to six-member relay teams will cover the maximum possible distance — over trails and hills — to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

Modelled on the celebrated Swiss event, which took place at the town of Villars-sur-Olion last January, there will be several competition categories — general public, corporate, junior, senior, paralympic and racing — so that snow-lovers of all skill levels can participate. Team members, including both skiers and snowboarders, will rotate position around the clock in relay fashion as they accumulate distance and sponsorship funds for the cause. The objective of the three-day event is to raise $150,000 for the Montréal-based JDRF, which is looking for a cure for diabetes and its complications.
