Dgrobs,
How big a trailer?
An open, single car trailer, no problems.
The road can be explored with Google maps to be sure, but from memory, both of the Canadian crossings should be OK.
Where I see a possible problem is going back to the U.S. at those crossings. The US installations are tight due to multiple columns of sensing equipment.

Thanks for the info....

Registered and accepted for Tremblant, route mostly selected. Took the car out for some sustenance at my favorite Jersey Shore seafood joint. If you like fresh seafood, oysters, clams, lobster rolls and are near point pleasant, highly recommend Spikes.

But what if we prefer old and stinky seafood?

I'm never driving my track car up to Mt Tremblant again, only trailering. I've broken all three times I've gone there and unless you speak French, its hard to get the car fixed. Luckily I was able to limp home each time (Lived in Boston at the time) but it was stressful and not fun.

I will try Red's, but it's closed until April, which does me no good today (yesterday). Thanks for the recommendation.

They might not understand English, but they understand Jackson, Grant, and Franklin.
Sorry you experienced that but glad you didn’t get stranded.
It’s such a great event. Try to figure out a way to get there. Maybe you could “rent” some space on a transport up and back? I know a few folks in your area that transport cars to and from track events. If you want their contact info, shoot me a pm.
Matter of fact, I have the perfect guy for you and he’s based in the Boston area. Shoot me a pm and I’ll get you in touch with them.
Hope to see you north of the border again this season.

Thanks but I live in Denver now. So getting up to Mt Tremblant isn't practical anymore.

I'm bummed to miss this event, but being in Milan and Lake Como will probably suffice!

When in Tremblant, check out the http://millepatestremblant.ca/ and http://www.petitecachee.com/ Two of my long time favorites. The ice cream place in the old St. Jovite is good. The soft serve is more custard than ice. And no trip is complete without a stop at St. Hubert! Hard to think I first went up there 20 years ago!
