For a season of fun for all!
Mont SUTTON will be open 7 days a week starting this Friday, December 13.
See the complete schedule of all our services here.
We know you’ve waited a long time for winter to return and for the mountain to open. Once again, we thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of you, your fellow skiers and snowboarders, and our employees.
You’ve got your skis out, you’ve got your season pass, and all you can think about is having fun on your well-deserved days off! We look forward to seeing you and welcoming you back for another season.
See the snow conditions to avoid surprises
Before arriving at the mountain, see our ski conditions page to avoid some surprises once at the mountain. You are invited to subscribe our newsletter to receive the snow reports on each selected mornings, directly in your email!
If sadly, your favorite trail is not open at the time of your visit, keep in mind that we are just as disappointed as you not to have access to our “darlings” at all times! Mother Nature in her greatness is quite unpredictable and we don’t always control which trails will be ready, especially at the beginning of the season. Please, be aware that our employees are dedicated and do their best to create optimal ski conditions on these trails. That said, our staff could be working on them and the impact with a groomer or a winch cable would be unfortunate. Also, potentially dangerous, snowmaking and trail maintenance tools could obstruct the way. These equipments, which are not always visible at first sight, will certainly be on these trails to ensure their openings as soon as possible. A cut snow gun pipe, for example, could cause a complete stop of the snowmaking operations during a critical cold period and, therefore, considerably delay the opening of the trails! Remember that a ribbon indicating the closure of your beloved trail implies serious reasons.
And once all of the trails on mountain are opened, in the excitement of the moment and the adrenaline of your descent, we understand that it is tempting to venture yourself a little further, but not too far, just “there”, but outside the marked areas… Please stay, for your safety and the one of others including our employees and the equipment on the trails, on one of our 60 trails by alternating the use of our 204 junctions. Out of bounds skiing is completely forbidden on our territory. Unfortunately, we have not either explored all the corners of our beautiful mountain. The entrances and exits are not controlled on these natural accesses and carry a risk for a skier in his momentum who might not see you leave the woods. Patrollers are not always under a safe position to access these potentially risky areas. You could find yourself in an unfortunate position that will remain beyond our knowledge. If the access to the road that attracts you is not marked, it would be wiser simply not to go. Also, just so you know, sending help to prohibited areas will ensure you a minimum fine of $250!
Closed alpine hiking trails
If you are an alpine touring lover, we would also like to remind you that alpine touring is not currently permitted on the mountain, at any time of day. Natural traps, snow guns and machinery on the terrain represent real danger. currently involved on the mountain at any time of day and night.
Thank you to not venture onto closed trails and when open, to use the marked trails indicated on the maps and respect the signage. Your descents must only happen on the available ski slopes.
Mont SUTTON has been welcoming you for a recreational use for 63 seasons and you must keep in mind that the mountain is a rich natural resource to be proud of. Its wildlife and vegetation must also be protected and respected. We ask for your cooperation in respecting and preserving the mountain’s natural environment. Not only do we not want to disturb the peace and quiet of the citizens, but the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) and the Parc d’environnement naturel de Sutton (PENS) wish to reiterate that the lands of the Green Mountains Natural Reserve (GMNR), is home to fragile ecosystems, and the PENS trails, which are happy to welcome hikers and snowshoers, are NOT part of the ski area for which you hold your ski or alpine touring rights!
Mountain code of conduct to respect
There is zero tolerance for any breach of the Mountain code of conduct. This code was adopted under the Act respecting safety in sports and applies to all ski mountains. It is a government legislation. Respecting the signage is just as important, ensuring the preservation of the environment and heritage, but above all your protection! You will find the main elements by following the link www.montsutton.com/en/safety. And, although we are the last ones to want to impose possible sanctions, they can and will be applied if necessary.
