Sommet Saint-Sauveur's summit reaches 416 metres, dropping 213 vertical metres to a base at 203 metres across 43 runs spread over roughly 57 hectares near Saint-Sauveur, Quebec. Terrain splits 42 per cent advanced, 23 per cent each for beginner and intermediate, and 12 per cent expert, with average annual snowfall of roughly 3.5 metres. Eight lifts, including five quad chairs and one six-person chair, serve the mountain alongside one double chair and one surface lift.
Sommet Saint-Sauveur holds a genuinely notable place among Laurentians resorts for operating what is marketed as Quebec's longest ski season, and for its considerable proximity to Montreal, making it a genuinely convenient evening and weekend destination. Its part in Les Sommets, a group of five Laurentians ski areas, gives visitors access to considerably more terrain than the mountain's own footprint suggests.
American Fred Pabst installed the first ski lift on what was then known as Hill 70 in 1934, and the site quickly became one of the more popular ski destinations in eastern North America. Eleven years later, a group of businessmen partnered with Victor Nymark to form Uphill Ltd and further develop the area, before Mont Saint-Sauveur resort was formally established in 1972 under founder Jacques G. Hébert.
The company added the Mont Saint-Sauveur water park in 1985, acquired Mont Avila in 1987, Ski Morin Heights in 1992, and both Mont Olympia and Ski Mont Gabriel in 1995. Following the arrival of passionate skier Louis Dufour, the Hébert and Dufour families rebranded the combined operation as Les Sommets in October 2016, encompassing five ski resorts and the water park. Adult daily tickets run from 68 to 78 Canadian dollars.
Sommet Saint-Sauveur spreads 43 runs across 142 acres skiable of terrain. It leans advanced at 42%, with 10 beginner runs to find your feet and 23 advanced or expert runs when you want to push.
The 2025-26 season at Sommet Saint-Sauveur ran from 13 November 2025 to 10 May 2026, a remarkably long roughly twenty-six-week season, marketed as Quebec's longest ski season, supported by average annual snowfall of around 3.5 metres and extensive snowmaking.
Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions to Saint-Sauveur's advanced-weighted terrain. Given its considerable proximity to Montreal, the resort draws substantial weekday evening and weekend visitation from the metropolitan area.
Saint-Sauveur's extensive night-skiing programme continues to draw strong evening visitation throughout its unusually long season. School holiday periods bring substantial family visitation given the resort's approachable access to the broader Les Sommets network of five mountains.
Specific event programming beyond standard operations and night skiing is not confirmed in available resort information. Since the 2016 rebrand to Les Sommets, Saint-Sauveur has continued building on more than nine decades of history since Fred Pabst's original 1934 lift installation. The resort's unusually long season and Montreal proximity remain central to its enduring popularity.
Sommet Saint-Sauveur sits near Saint-Sauveur, Quebec, in the Laurentians, with a base elevation of 203 metres and a summit at 416 metres across a 213-metre vertical drop over roughly 57 hectares. This setting places the resort among the closest ski areas to Montreal in the entire Laurentians region.
The town of Saint-Sauveur itself, a popular year-round Laurentians destination with extensive shopping and dining, offers considerable lodging and services directly adjacent to the resort.
Autoroute 15 provides direct access to the resort from Montreal, one of the most straightforward approaches of any Laurentians ski area. Winter driving conditions on this route can include snow and ice, though the well-travelled highway is regularly maintained given the resort's status as a major commuter destination.
Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, roughly a 45-minute drive away, is the primary gateway for visitors flying into the region, with Saint-Sauveur's considerable proximity to Montreal making it a genuinely convenient option for both day-trip and evening skiing.

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.
