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

    Stoneham's summit reaches 593 metres, dropping 345 vertical metres to a base at 248 metres across 43 runs spread over roughly 135 hectares near Quebec City, Quebec. Terrain splits 39 per cent advanced, 26 per cent intermediate, 19 per cent beginner and 16 per cent expert, with average annual snowfall of roughly 3.5 metres. The resort carries Epic Pass affiliation. Four quad chairs serve the mountain alongside two surface lifts.

    Stoneham holds a genuinely distinctive place among Quebec resorts for its natural horseshoe-shaped valley, chosen specifically because it creates a natural snow-retention pocket where snowfall accumulates and lingers longer than at surrounding sites. Its considerable advanced-and-expert-weighted terrain, spread across three mountain faces, has built Stoneham's reputation as one of the more serious resorts near Quebec City.

    More than twenty ski enthusiasts from the Quebec City and Trois-Rivières business communities invested roughly 300,000 Canadian dollars in the early 1960s to build three trails and two lifts. Walter Moisan founded the resort in 1964, selecting the site specifically for its horseshoe-shaped topography and the natural snow-hole effect it created.

    Shoe manufacturer Marc Blondeau acquired Stoneham in 1979, and within eight years the resort's development had overtaken nearby Tremblant, Orford and Sutton, with Stoneham gaining ownership of an entire six-mountain, 2,300-acre valley. Resorts of the Canadian Rockies acquired Stoneham by 1998, and the resort remains part of RCR's portfolio alongside Kicking Horse, Fernie, Kimberley, Nakiska and Mont-Sainte-Anne. Adult daily tickets run from 95 to 105 Canadian dollars.

    The Terrain

    43 runs across 333 acres skiable

    Stoneham is the closest big hill to Quebec City, a roughly 20-minute drive, with a 345-metre vertical from 248 to 593 metres. Its 43 runs spread over about 135 hectares, and grading skews steep: 19% beginner, 26% intermediate, 39% advanced and 16% expert. Four quad chairs and two surface lifts serve the mountain, which keeps things simple. It is a modest vertical by Alpine standards, but the layout over several peaks gives it more room than the vertical suggests, and the steep sections are a feature rather than an afterthought. It is on the Epic Pass.

    Glades are part of the mix, with steep, tight wooded trails off the upper peaks that demand some commitment. Night skiing covers a significant network of trails, which suits locals wanting to ski after work. The groomed runs hold corduroy in the morning but can turn icy and hard after a cold stretch, so check conditions. Beginners and intermediates have a reasonable selection too, although the hill's character leans toward the advanced end. Stoneham suits Quebec City residents, advanced skiers on a short stay and Epic Pass holders wanting a handy hill alongside bigger destinations nearby.

    When to visit Stoneham

    The 2025-26 season at Stoneham ran from 5 December 2025 to 5 April 2026, a roughly seventeen-week season supported by average annual snowfall of around 3.5 metres, aided by the resort's natural snow-retention valley. Season dates can shift depending on early and late-season weather near Quebec City.

    Midwinter, from December through February, typically brings the most consistent conditions to Stoneham's advanced-weighted terrain. As an Epic Pass resort through Resorts of the Canadian Rockies' partnership with Vail Resorts, Stoneham draws considerable visitation from Epic Pass holders and Quebec City residents alike.

    Stoneham's extensive night-skiing programme continues to draw strong weekday evening visitation from the Quebec City area throughout the season. School holiday periods bring family visitation to the resort's more moderate terrain sections.

    Specific event programming beyond standard operations is not confirmed in available resort information. Since Resorts of the Canadian Rockies' 1998 acquisition, Stoneham has continued building on six decades of history since Walter Moisan's 1964 founding. The resort's natural snow-hole valley and considerable night-skiing programme remain central to its enduring popularity near Quebec City.

    Getting to Stoneham, and where to stay

    Stoneham sits near Quebec City, Quebec, within a natural horseshoe-shaped valley, with a base elevation of 248 metres and a summit at 593 metres across a 345-metre vertical drop over roughly 135 hectares spread across three mountain faces. This setting places the resort within a short drive of the provincial capital.

    The municipality of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury and the broader Quebec City region offer lodging and dining within a manageable drive of the resort.

    Route 175 provides direct access to the resort from Quebec City. Winter driving conditions on this route can include snow and ice, though the well-travelled road is regularly maintained given the resort's status as a significant regional destination.

    Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport, roughly a 30-minute drive away, is the primary gateway for visitors flying into the region, with Stoneham's considerable proximity to Quebec City supporting substantial day-trip and evening visitation.

    Val Gardena to Alpe di Siusi Lift Link Back in Play After Court Ruling

    Val Gardena to Alpe di Siusi Lift Link Back in Play After Court Ruling

    The Val Gardena-Alpe di Siusi lift link isn’t dead after all. A South Tyrol court has overturned Santa Cristina’s rejection of the new Monte Pana-Saltria link on procedural grounds, after the council skipped required public information sessions. Opponents want the missing sessions held and a fresh vote, and nothing has been approved. For now it’s still a bus between the two, but a plan first floated in 2017 is back in the conversation.
