Once the snow is firmly on the ground, questions can swirl as to road trip destinations for some weekend or even mid-week (if your lucky!) skiing/snowboarding. A great spot to look into for your next trip maybe the Eastern Township region (about 1.5 hr east of Montreal, or 3.5 hrs from Ottawa).
With so many ski/snowboard options to choose from, the area is a great experience to visit multiple ski resorts during a single trip!
Most Eastern Township resorts don't have the built-up resorts atmosphere, such as the likes of Tremblant. Having said that, most are in close proximity to urban centers, such as Magog, Bromont, Sutton and Sherbrooke - options that offer variety in terms of accommodations and dinning.

Below is a map showcasing Owl's Head ski resorts in the area. Highway 10 is the primary route through the region and easily links up with major auto routes through Montreal and continuing to Ottawa and Toronto to the west.
