Ski Levels

Experts will head directly to Dynamite which is one of the steepest runs in Eastern Canada or try their skill and luck at Action, Reaction, Expo, Boiling Kettle, Devil's River, Emotion and Versant Soleil. Intermediates can get their Quebecois jollies on Johannsen, Duncan Haut, Geant and Coyote. Beginners should stick by the free moving carpets near the Bell for easy and safe courses.

The mountain features three separate Terrain Parks, which are all packed so full of ramps, rails, jibs, hips, and jumps that they are sure to keep any skill level challenged and entertained. The Advanced Zone is just that, a zone for advanced skiers only. This Terrain Park has some amazing features including battleship rail, rainbow rail, spine jumps, down rail, picnic tables, A frames, C rails, C boxes, flat down rail, fun box, double kinked rail, roller coaster box, flat rail, and if that's not enough you can go test your skills on the impeccably groomed 420 foot superpipe. The Intermediate Zone is also well named, and is a bit downsized version of the Advanced Zone, but just as much fun for any mid level skilled skiier. The beginners and children will have an absolutely fantastic time on the Progression Zone, with tons of features scaled down to their level and requirement for safe fun. The resort's ski school is legendary and offers courses for everyone and anyone.

If you're really serious about getting way in the backcountry, then you can enjoy the amazing wintertime Laurentian scenery from high above the mountains and reach those untouched slopes packed with virgin snow with Heli Tremblant or Heli Star. They'll both fly you in modern, comfortable helicopters absolutely anywhere you want to go.
