Spring changes the way you ski. The light is different, as is the pace. It's no longer about performance, but about the pleasure of simply extending the season. And each resort in Lanaudière is experienced differently at this time of year.
Enjoy a more relaxed pace, smoother lifts, and milder temperatures under the spring sun. It's the perfect time to extend your season, get the most out of your pass or remaining days, and finish on a high note on a sunny terrace.
VAL SAINT-CÔME TOURIST RESORT
Val Saint-Côme, with its vast ski area and 300-meter vertical drop, comes into its own in the spring. The longer days allow you to rack up more runs and explore more trails in a single outing. It's the perfect time to revisit your favorite runs several times.
You can also experience ski-in/ski-out by spending the night at the foot of the slopes in Coolbox cabins, which allow you to access the slopes directly from your accommodation and easily return to enjoy the sun between runs.
Finally, after your runs, settle in at Le Pitch bar for a well-deserved beer and enjoy the festive atmosphere that comes alive on the terrace as soon as the weather warms up.
SKI LA RÉSERVE
At La Réserve ski resort, the slopes have plenty of elevation, and you can feel it in your legs. If you like challenging descents, you'll be in your element.
In spring, there are generally fewer people. This means more space for you on the slopes, less waiting at the lifts, and more descents in a day. You can really ski at your own pace.
The snow changes throughout the day, making each run a little different. It's the perfect time to test your control or just enjoy a more relaxed ski in a less intense atmosphere than during the peak season.
SKI GARCEAU
At Ski Garceau, you climb to the highest peak in the region. The view is worth the detour, the runs are long, and you get that real feeling of being in the mountains as soon as you reach the top.
In spring, the experience becomes even more enjoyable. The weather is milder, you can ski without having to bundle up like you do in the middle of January, and you can really enjoy every run.
Ski Garceau has always had a reputation as a family resort, and in the spring, this is even more apparent. The kids have fun, the parents relax a little more, and everyone ends up getting together between runs.
The atmosphere becomes almost festive when the sun comes out and everyone gathers on the terrace at the top of the mountain. It's not just a day of skiing, it's a day outdoors, together. You come for the runs, but you leave with so much more.
SKI MONTCALM
In spring, Ski Montcalm is perfect for days when you just want to ski and enjoy the moment. The layout of the mountain makes it easy to string together runs and keep up a good pace all day long.
With four slopes, you can vary your route and discover different sections in the same outing. This provides great diversity.
When temperatures warm up, the atmosphere becomes even more pleasant, especially for families and those who are learning. The covered magic carpet in the beginner's area makes those first few runs more comfortable and reassuring, even if the weather changes a little over the course of the day.
In the spring, Montcalm is a mountain where you come to ski, get some fresh air, and enjoy the end of the season in a warm atmosphere.
No matter which resort you choose, spring skiing in Lanaudière is an opportunity to rediscover the mountain in a different way, under the sun and in a more relaxed atmosphere. Before putting away your skis, treat yourself to a few more runs and prolong the fun.
