A Paradise For Skiers

Québec City is rightly recognized as the snow capital. People here have succeeded in taming winter. In the early days, that may not have been easy, but now winter is a source of pleasure, fun and joy. Since the area is covered with a white mantle of snow from November to April, then it may as well be appreciated. "A more romantic city doesn't exist in North America, certainly not one near such excellent skiing", described Senior Editor Ron Rudolph from Snow Country Magazine.

People in Québec City enjoy all types of winter fun by taking part in sports and cultural activities. There is downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and the now very popular sport of snowboarding.

Skiers are delighted with the exceptional natural snow conditions in the area. Year in year out, the average snowfall is 342 cm (135 inches). But even if Nature does fall short (which is rare!), all the major ski centres in the area are equipped with efficient artificial snowmaking to take over. Whether you are an expert or a beginner, you will find slopes to make you smile.

Ski and outdoor enthusiasts will find three ski centres thirty minutes or less from downtown: Mont-Sainte-Anne, Station touristique Stoneham and Le Relais.

They are the major ski centres in the area. They all rent ski equipment for beginning or experienced skiers and offer child care facilities, nighttime skiing for discovering the mountain in another light, meal services and boutiques.
