Sometimes the most important moment in an Olympic story happens before anyone is watching. In November 2025, Tremblant Express sat down with Mont-Tremblant freestyle skier Naomi Urness as she prepared for her first World Cup tour. As our conversation turned to the unseen work behind high-performance sport, the idea surfaced to circle back before the holidays and capture that process on film. Naomi was in. We placed a call to Mont-Tremblant filmmaker Nolan Bornet of ProdByNo

Here we are, more than a month into the new year. Now it’s time to do the thing you promised yourself you would do – for yourself. Start with intention. What do you want to work on, and why does it matter? Get clear on your end goal. Write it down on paper, not on your phone. Then work backwards. Identify the milestones you need to hit to get there and create a flexible timeline for each one. Keep breaking it down until you’re left with small, realistic actions you can tackle

January is the perfect time to embrace one of the most complete winter sports: cross-country skiing. And here in the Mont-Tremblant region, we’re spoiled: our local trails offer everything from technical climbs to peaceful forest routes. Big benefits Cross-country skiing delivers a full-body workout with minimal joint impact. Every stride works the coordination and strengthens the hips, core, shoulders, and stabilizing muscles that so many of us rely on year-round. These qual

It’s winter in the Laurentians. Snow blankets the ground, and I feel like building a snowman. I start by scooping up a handful of snow, shaping it into a ball, then rolling it in the snow. With every roll, it gathers more snow, growing bigger and stronger. Before long, I’ve built the base of a snowman. As I stack more snowballs, the snowman takes shape. It’s not quite complete, so I add the eyes, nose and arms. That’s exactly how goal setting works. The same approach should b

We’ve all felt it. A day or two after a hard workout, your muscles ache in ways you didn’t expect. That stiffness and tenderness? It’s called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Athletes talk about it all the time, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted parts of training. For years, people thought DOMS came from tiny micro-tears in the muscles. But recent research shows it’s more about your body’s repair response. When you push your muscles in new wa

If you’re new to running—or easing your way back—you might assume your only option is circling neighbourhood streets. But the mountains are calling, and there’s another path waiting for you: trail running. Big benefits One of the biggest advantages is the terrain itself. Trails are softer on your joints than unforgiving concrete or asphalt, easing pressure on knees and shins. They also shift the focus away from speed. With hills, roots, and twists to navigate, you’ll find tha

September 10 marks World Suicide Prevention Day. This day resonates deeply with me. Having witnessed the devastating effects of suicide among loved ones, it is a wound I also carry. In dark moments, movement has been my lifeline. It helped me reconnect with my body, reclaim my pride, and reawaken me to life’s subtle beauty. Studies confirm what many of us feel intuitively: strong social connections, regular exercise, mindfulness, and meaningful goals are the pillars of lastin

There’s something special about moving in sync with others—whether it’s a fitness class, a weekend hike, or just a run with a friend. Beyond the physical benefits, group exercise offers something deeper: connection, motivation, and shared joy. Science backs this up. Numerous studies show that exercising with others can increase motivation and consistency. When you know your workout partner is counting on you, it’s much easier to lace up your shoes and show up—even on the days
