What a fucking laugher. Tremblant on strike

**TJ.Brk** · 12-15-2005, 07:50 PM

Yep. Tremblant is officially dead. Employees are walking out Saturday. Intrawest's plans are to close the mtn. Only refunds are being given for prepayed lift tickets. Season pass holders are fucked.

Bunch of stupid fuckers bringing even more bad karma here. We'll I guess I won't miss much when I go into the hospital New Years Day.

**Daywalker** · 12-15-2005, 09:03 PM

I tried to find some information on this through google, not much luck. Do you have any other sources? I would like to find out what exactly Intrawest is pulling, also just how serious this is.

**surfsnowywaves** · 12-15-2005, 09:14 PM

why in all hell would they close Tremblant? it consistently gets ratings for best in the east, or at least in the top 5 for everything.

fuck the corps, thats what i say.

**coastal** · 12-15-2005, 09:46 PM

I don't know the particulars of this situation, but it sounds like Tremblant staff are unionized. If that's the case, there's little hope for Intrawest to get rid of it aside from closing up shop. Shitty situation if this is all true.

**orlowskij** · 12-15-2005, 10:55 PM

They just better get their shit together before the 2nd. I'm heading there for a week

**Droopy** · 12-15-2005, 11:10 PM

I am also there from the 2nd till the 6th... this blows

Edit: orlowskij asuming the place doesnt close down I will treat you to a beer

I'm told Montreal has great topless bars. And hot women. And good food.

**Lone Star** · 12-16-2005, 12:42 AM

funny, all this information comes from the same source. one source, in all of the huge ol' interweb. what gives you the inside scoop, Teej?

**Bluebird** · 12-16-2005, 06:10 AM

Source seems a little susupect. I believe you have posted some anti-tremblant stuff before. Where exactly are you getting this info?

**jonesy** · 12-16-2005, 08:29 AM

Employees from three large federations, representing a number of unions, have staged a series of rotating strikes in Quebec during the past few weeks. The largest was in Montreal on Tuesday, when 80,000 people took to the streets in protest.

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

Station Mont-Tremblant deplores this weekend's 24-hour union-imposed work stoppage
Mont-Tremblant, December 15th, 2005 – Station Mont Tremblant learned this afternoon, regretfully, that the union is preparing a work stoppage this weekend, from midnight Friday to midnight Saturday.
Senior management at Station Mont-Tremblant are upset that the union has resorted to drastic means while discussions are underway, yet they still remain hopeful that an agreement will be reached before Christmas.
An unfortunate situation for skiers and vacationers
Station Mont-Tremblant will do everything possible to satisfy guests who have reservations this weekend. We are asking that skiers not show up on Saturday, in order to avoid a disappointing situation. Meanwhile, if all goes according to plan, we will be welcoming skiers on Sunday morning, as usual.
Many company departments are mobilizing to offer services on the mountain. The slopes will be open, as well as the hotels. Restaurants, shops, and businesses in Tremblant village will be operating as usual. Our Snow School and Childcare Services will be closed on Saturday. For up-to-the-minute information, please visit our website at: www.tremblant.ca.
We hope that this situation is temporary, and that the union will negotiate a winning agreement for salaries, for the company, and consequently, for the entire region.

Very nice, first major snowfall of the season in Montreal, Tremblant on strike. Mind you the snow appears to not be heading that way. Road trip time.

**BakerBoy** · 12-16-2005, 12:51 PM

Wow a liftie union? That's ridiculous.

**skieast** · 12-16-2005, 01:05 PM

They're all union, from the lifties to the instructors.

The chicks in the bars are hott as fuck. Usually, however, if they have the same laws as Windsor, ON then they are not allowed to touch you.

And I like to be touched. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

It might not be a bad thing if the union idea spread to some ski areas west of there though.

Im sorry, but after living in Canada for a year, I can honestly say its ruled by socialists all around. they tax the air you breath up here. quebeckers have found that pointing a gun at someones head to get what they want usually works.
