The snowmaking season has started !

November 24, 2025

For the first phase of snowmaking, the first snowflakes will be produced in the Familiale (Giroux Nord) area. The snow guns will then be put into action in the Grande Allée and Ookpic (Alfred-Desrochers) areas in order to cover two slopes for the start of the season. If the weather and snow conditions are on our side, we plan to open the resort on December 5.

The mountain is currently closed. It is not possible to come hiking or alpine hiking on the mountain. These two sports will begin at the same time as the official opening of the resort.

Thank you for your understanding!
