Default Semi-truck route to mont-tremblant?

Our time trial club is finally heading back to Tremblant this year. I haven't been since we switched from our 40' long box truck and a small trailer to our current setup (44' trailer and Volvo 780).

I've always entered via Chemin Sequin (at the ski shop), but that's a pretty tight turn. Is there another way that's generally used for haulers?

Thanks!

Chemin du Village for tractor trailer entrance, off 327 from St. Jovite.

That's the go kart entrance, right?

It looks like the route to the paddock takes you over the bridge and then across the track at the pit out or pit in? Is that correct?

What did we ever do before google satellite view? :-)

Yes that is correct, it's actually the spectator entrance for the race weekend events ... that's the path all the big rigs take to enter and exit the compound !

I went through the karting entrance last time, it was more of a hassle than it was worth. I left through the main gate, and had no problems. I'm not as tall but I'm 50' long on the trailer. I don't remember any height restrictions the other way, as I recall they told me that the big trucks use the main entrance all the time.

Thanks. The turn by the ski shop there looks scary.

Actually I just looked at google street view and it looks like the sidewalk/bike lane is usable to make the turn wider.
