Thats insane. Did that in the summer at Como/Lugano this summer

I have gone to Mont Tremblant, about an hour North of Montreal for the last 2 years. Amazing little ski town, good snow, great people, top level hotels (ski on ski off), good food, a lot of snow bunnies. I do only recommend going in late February, early March. This is when I have gone and the weather is great. I was told not to bother in december - january because it is just to damn cold.
This is where I stayed last year and it was probably the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at in my life. Blows any Four Season, W, Ritz Carlton out of the water. Boutique with not many rooms, each room has a fireplace that they light for you at any time if you want. The rooms are huge and all have balconies overlooking the lake. It is about a 2-3 minute walk across the street to the lift, very doable with equipment, but they will drive you in a shuttle anyway and take your ski's and poles for you. When you come back to the hotel, they have seating to take off your boots and give you brand news slippers (each time you come back) and put your boots on heated boot dryers. Pretty great experience.

I forgot to mention that the place has a spa, and you can use it for free when staying there. sauna, steam room etc.
Or you can check out the Scandinavia Spa right down the block. This place is sick.
