The Overview

Melbourne-based skier and snowboarder with 50+ resorts across 5 continents. Specialises in Australian resorts and international resort comparisons.
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.

When to visit Bromont
The 2025-26 season at Bromont ran from 27 November 2025 to 12 April 2026, a roughly nineteen-week season supported by average annual snowfall of around 3.5 metres and extensive snowmaking coverage across the resort's 100 lit trails. Season dates can shift depending on early and late-season weather in the Eastern Townships.
Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions to Bromont's varied terrain. Given its considerable proximity to Montreal, roughly 45 minutes away, Bromont draws substantial visitation from the metropolitan area, particularly for evening skiing.
Bromont's night-skiing programme continues to draw strong weekday evening visitation throughout the season, supported by comprehensive snowmaking across every slope. School holiday periods bring substantial family visitation given the resort's varied terrain and four-season amenities.
Specific event programming beyond standard operations is not confirmed in available resort information. Since Roland Désourdy's 1964 founding, Bromont has continued building on six decades of history under family ownership, now led by his son Charles Désourdy. The resort's night-skiing scale and considerable Montreal proximity remain central to its enduring popularity.

Getting there
Getting to Bromont, and where to stay
Bromont sits in the Eastern Townships, Quebec, with a base elevation of 165 metres and a summit at 516 metres across a 351-metre vertical drop over roughly 182 hectares. This setting places the resort within a comparatively short drive of Montreal, among the more accessible major resorts in southern Quebec.
The town of Bromont itself, developed alongside the resort as a model community, offers lodging, dining and services directly at the mountain's base.
Autoroute 10 provides direct access to the resort from Montreal. Winter driving conditions on this route can include snow and ice, though the well-travelled highway is regularly maintained given the resort's considerable visitor volume.
Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, roughly a one-hour drive away, is the primary gateway for visitors flying into the region, with Bromont's considerable proximity to Montreal supporting substantial day-trip and evening visitation from the metropolitan area.

FIS Weighs Holding World Championships in Almost Every Winter, Starting 2032
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.

Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026
Mount Buller closes out its 2026 season this Sunday, joining Falls Creek, Hotham and Charlotte Pass in a cluster of closures landing almost simultaneously and roughly a month ahead of schedule. The culprit is stark: Spencers Creek's benchmark snow depth hit 31.2cm on 3 September, just 18% of the 73-year average and an all-time low for this point in the season. Six of Victoria and NSW's best-known resorts will have shut their lifts early within a span of about two and a half weeks.

Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season
Tremblant has confirmed a major expansion of its Quebec ski area, with a new Timber Summit sector adding 62 acres of terrain, eight trails and a high-speed quad chairlift for winter 2027/28. It's part of a CAD 42.5 million investment that also includes a new beginner learning zone at Versant Soleil opening this coming season. The project has grown considerably since it was first announced back in 2020, when it carried a far smaller budget and an opening date that never eventuated.

Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6
We knew when the Bird Bath Pond Skim showed up on Hotham's Instagram that the season was on its way out. It's been a rough one - I only managed two days on snow all year, at Falls Creek - and now Baw Baw, Selwyn and Hotham have all called it, possibly the worst Australian season I've seen in a decade. Hotham's last day of lift operations is Sunday, 6 September, with a Retro Day, Father's Day après and closing sales before the lifts stop turning for good.

Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028
Thredbo Alpine Resort has confirmed plans to replace its 37-year-old Gunbarrel quad chairlift with a new six-seat Doppelmayr D-Line, targeting winter 2028. The AUD 35 million project will keep travel time roughly the same but lift capacity from 2,800 to 3,000 skiers per hour. It's part of a broader investment push that also includes doubled snowmaking capacity at Friday Flat for 2027, with the ageing Kosciuszko Express now flagged as the resort's next major lift replacement after Gunbarrel.

Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do
A deadly flood on the Nepal-China border, a decade-old tragedy on Italy's Marmolada, and an unstable glacier right now above a village near Zermatt - three very different mountain ranges, the same underlying story. Warming ice is destabilising terrain that was considered settled for generations, and the results range from catastrophic floods to slow-motion monitoring situations that could go either way.

Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September
Tyrol's highest ski area is gearing up to open a full month ahead of most of the Alps. The Pitztal Glacier is scheduled to start its 2026/27 season on Saturday 26 September, running through to 2 May 2027, with the lower-altitude Rifflsee area following in December. High-altitude terrain up to 3,440 metres gives the glacier a head start on snow, though as always, the actual opening extent will depend on how September's weather plays out. Early online ski pass bookings can save up to 30%.
