Bromont's summit reaches 516 metres, dropping 351 vertical metres to a base at 165 metres across 143 runs spread over roughly 182 hectares in the Eastern Townships, Quebec. Terrain splits 37 per cent intermediate, 22 per cent advanced, 21 per cent beginner and 20 per cent expert, with average annual snowfall of roughly 3.5 metres. Twelve lifts, including six quad chairs, two double chairs and one gondola, serve the mountain alongside three surface lifts.
Bromont holds the distinction of operating the largest illuminated skiable area in North America, with 100 trails lit for night skiing supported by 99 fan guns and nearly 1,500 snowmaking poles across every slope. Its considerable proximity to Montreal, combined with this extensive night-skiing infrastructure, has built Bromont's reputation as a genuine four-season destination rather than a purely daytime ski hill.
Roland Désourdy envisioned and developed Bromont as a model resort community, founding the resort in 1964. His son Charles Désourdy has never missed a season skiing at Bromont since it opened, having worked as the resort's evening ski and snowmaking manager during the 1981-82 season before becoming president in 1998.
Under Charles Désourdy's leadership, snowmaking has become a central element of the mountain's operations, supporting the resort's considerable night-skiing scale. Bromont's exact current pass affiliation is not confirmed in available resort information. The resort welcomes close to 800,000 visitors annually and employs more than 1,300 people as a four-season operation. Adult daily tickets run from 72 to 85 Canadian dollars.
Bromont spreads 143 runs across 450 acres skiable of terrain. It leans intermediate at 37%, with 30 beginner runs to find your feet and 60 advanced or expert runs when you want to push.

Season dates can shift depending on early and late-season weather in the Eastern Townships.

Four connected areas, 70 lifts and a World Championship course, yet Saalbach Hinterglemm still runs like a family holiday. Two days on snow and a Worlds Super-G later, here is who it suits, what the Ski ALPIN CARD covers and why Epic Pass holders should pay attention. Big on blues, light on steeps.

Sölden's World Cup opener has been two giant slaloms on the Rettenbach glacier for as long as most fans can remember. From 2027/28 it could be four. Director Jack Falkner wants to add two Super-Gs, backed by a nod from Vincent Kriechmayr, and turn the opening into a full week where the ski world gathers in the Ötztal. FIS and the ÖSV are yet to sign off. This year, it's still just the two GS races on 24 and 25 October.

Hokkaido's lift season now has dates. Sapporo Kokusai opens first on 20 November, Niseko United, Kiroro, Rusutsu and Furano follow on 28 November, and Kamui closes the list on 12 December. Everything hinges on snow, and with a strong El Niño in play, the JMA gives Hokkaido's Japan Sea side a 40% chance of below-normal snowfall. Honshu's Japan Sea coast looks shakier.

Switzerland logged 25.7 million ski days last winter, only 2.3% off the record, in a season that ranked sixth-warmest since records began. Revenue hit CHF 895.8 million, second only to 2024/25. Zermatt led on visits and takings, foreign guests hit a ten-year high, and 12 resorts never opened at all. Snowmaking, late storms and high altitude carried the numbers. Anything sitting at 1,000-1,200 m had a far rougher time.

Aspen Snowmass turns 80 this December, and it's marking the milestone with $3.75 lift tickets on the anniversary itself - the original 1946 price. A discounted long weekend, $19.46 dining specials, lodging deals up to 46 percent off, and a season of anniversary programming round out the celebration across all four mountains.

Doppelmayr closed its 2025/26 business year with revenue up 9.1 percent to 1.3 billion euros, driven by projects including the Big Sky Explorer Gondola, Deer Valley's Mayflower East Village Gondola, and the first TRI-Line installation at Hoch-Ybrig. Headcount grew too, with the ropeway manufacturer now employing almost 4,000 people worldwide.

Hintertux Glacier is retiring its 40-year-old gondola to the Tuxer Fernerhaus. The replacement carries 10 people per cabin instead of four, with seat heating and nearly 40 percent more hourly capacity. Doppelmayr's new line opens at the end of October 2026, right as the glacier's high-altitude terrain becomes accessible again for the new season.

The International Ski and Snowboard Federation is looking at a major shake-up to its title events calendar. From 2032, World Championships could run not just in odd-numbered years but in every non-Olympic winter too, effectively putting a global title event on the calendar almost every season. The FIS Council has approved the concept following a feasibility study, though an accelerated rollout as early as 2028 is also under consideration.
Bromont runs twelve lifts: two double chairs, six quad chairs and one gondola, serving 143 runs across roughly 182 hectares, alongside three surface lifts. This substantial network supports the resort's considerable night-skiing operation, marketed as the largest illuminated skiable area in North America.
The lift network has developed considerably since Roland Désourdy's 1964 founding, with continued investment under his son Charles Désourdy's leadership since 1998 supporting both daytime and extensive evening operations.
The six quad chairs and gondola now distribute skiers efficiently across Bromont's varied terrain, supported by 99 fan guns and nearly 1,500 snowmaking poles that keep all 100 lit trails skiable through the night.
Under ongoing Désourdy family ownership, continued investment has supported this twelve-lift network according to the family's own priorities, with snowmaking infrastructure remaining a particular focus since Charles Désourdy's tenure began. Specific recent individual lift replacement projects are not confirmed in available resort information. Bromont's extensive lift and snowmaking network remains central to its identity as North America's largest illuminated ski area.
