Mont-Sainte-Anne in Quebec will open two new mountain sections this winter for glade skiing. This is a popular form of ski slope in North America – with thin tree cover.
One run will serve intermediates, the other is for experts, and both will connect into existing trails and end near a sugar shack, where traditional maple syrup treats are served. This brings the number of trails at Mont Sainte Anne to 69 in total.
Mont Sainte Anne will also inaugurate a new lift on December 15th, named La Panorama-Express. Aa Dopplemayr detachable quad chair, manufactured locally in St-Jérôme, Québec, it will replace the triple chairlift that was serving this area before.
This investment will cut lift time in half and serve more skiable terrain, and its path will be modified and optimized to provide access to the entire mountain, not only the expert area as before. It is also the biggest investment made in Québec's ski industry for the upcoming season.
