Poor choice of words. I'll try again...

In Andorra there are lots of ski resorts.

I'd take all temperature readings in Canada with a pinch of salt.
Toronto has lots of temperature indicators on it's buildings - they seem to try and see who has the highest readings. Some were reading 26 degrees c & I needed a jumper! So I suspect the ski resorts do the same with the minus figures!

It's April, so it's not unusual to see pistes melt away in front of your eyes (almost). Last year in La Plagne one of the reds down to the cable car that links it to Les Arcs dissapeared within a day. Wednesday it was fine - Thursday it was open only to give us an "Oh Sh**" moment as we bombed round a bend to discover the piste was now just grass.
It's not unique to tremblant at the end of the season.
Drunken students are hardly unique however I guess the proximity of Tremblant to the States may well make it a popular venue with those who take advantage of Canada's lower dingking age - (Presumably an issue in the school/college vacations)

March is spring break for most college students in the US. A lot of them head to Florida, or Mexico, so avoid those places in March, unless you like drunken kids partying.
because I'm so inclined .....

I have just knocked it off my list for a first NA trip, not due to the OP but due to the typically bullish mantra of a brainwashed individual who chose to respond in a manner which reinforces the original point with astonishing clarity.

Hope to god the individual who responded is not a representative of the resort.

I ride at an altitude starting from touching 13,000 ft regularly and by the calculation of the response I should be on 22% oxygen whilst having my pre-2000m drop cigarrette, as I contemplate my 7km run into Italy for a class of Chianti. It also means those who summit Everest without supplemental oxygen are not actually human.

Don't believe facts at face value, this is nonsense.

We can not answer to the infinite variables concerning the "People" issues you refer to, but if you have a problem, our experience shows that the area management cares deeply about your concerns and you should communicate with them about any negative experience.


Upon further furious examination this person does represent the resort in some fashion.

Not convinced the OP was not deliberately targeting MT or not, however if this PR response is even slightly indicative of the resort I pity the management.

Okay rant over.
