182 hectares, 143 runs near Montreal. Largest illuminated skiable area in North America, extensive night skiing.
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.
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.
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.

Thredbo is officially 'on the table.' EVT Limited, owner of Australia's most decorated ski resort, has hired Rothschild & Co to review its entire corporate structure - and confirmed Thredbo isn't off limits, even as it books a stronger year of earnings. The resort's own valuation has nearly halved after a brutal 2026 season, and speculation is already running toward Vail Resorts, Alterra, or a New Zealand operator picking it up. Here's what EVT actually said, and who could buy it.

I'm not a gamer. I'm a skier and snowboarder who happens to have a laptop. So when a ski resort management game called Ski-E-O! landed on Steam, I wasn't expecting to lose an afternoon to it - but here we are. Real mountain terrain, a full weather system, storms that roll in and wreck your snow base, avalanche danger, and enough depth to make RollerCoaster Tycoon feel simple by comparison. Early access lands in November. Here's what a few hours in the free demo actually looks like.

The rumours are true: Sugar Bowl is tearing out its Emerald gondola, in place since 1983, and replacing it with a new 8-person Doppelmayr system - nearly doubling uphill capacity to 1,800 people an hour. It's the fourth generation of a gondola line that dates back to 1953, when Sugar Bowl became the first resort on the West Coast to run one at all, and it's just one piece of a $100 million overhaul touching lodges, parking and snowmaking. Here's what's changing, and what's staying the same.

The death toll from Thursday night's fire at Restaurant Beverin in Thusis, Switzerland, has begun to firm up. One Swiss outlet, citing Graubünden Cantonal Police, reports that two of the five people initially reported missing have now been confirmed dead, leaving three unaccounted for. The building's collapsed stairwell and structural instability have slowed recovery efforts throughout. Here's what's changed since the fire broke out, and what's still unconfirmed.

Selwyn Snow Resort has called an early end to its 2026 season, a day after Victoria's Mount Baw Baw did the same. Rain on Thursday stripped what was left of the snowpack, and the cold nights needed to rebuild it through snowmaking never arrived. It's a rough result for a resort that only just found its footing again after being burned to the ground in the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires and a multi-year rebuild. Here's how the season fell apart, and where Selwyn's been since the fire.

Mt Baw Baw is calling time on its 2026 season this Sunday at 5pm, becoming the first Australian resort to close for the year after warm spells and rain wore through its snowpack. Lifts stop, but the resort stays open, entry fees get waived, and there's one last Bollywood Weekend before the lights go out. Fifty-seven days after opening, here's how the season ended and what it means for the rest of Australia's struggling snowpack.

Arosa's Hörnli sector is getting its biggest overhaul in decades. The 1986 gondola and 1994 chairlift linking toward Lenzerheide are both being replaced, with capacity up, tower count down and a new base station lower on the hill. At roughly CHF 67 million, it is the largest single investment Arosa Bergbahnen has ever made - and the target opening has already slipped a year, to December 2028. Here is what is changing, and why the timeline moved.

Sundance Mountain Resort's back mountain is finally getting a proper lift. The Electric Horseman Express opens for 2026-27, unlocking a new bowl next to Bishop's Bowl and three expert gladed chutes across roughly 105 fresh acres - on top of the Storyteller ridge run that debuted in preview form last season. It's Sundance's biggest expansion since 1985, and it turns a three-lift slog into a single six-minute ride to Bearclaw Summit.
