Looking at Montreal's snow-free streets, you wouldn't think there still is skiing and snowboarding in the mountains around the city. But there is good news for those who want to finish the season in style. A wide choice of areas are currently in full or almost full operation and plan to stay open a few more weeks. Some hills missed the recent rains. Others have powerful snow-making equipment that allows them to make snow when the night air is cold. Mont Tremblant and Le Massif in Charlevoix are scheduled to close April 11. At Mont Sutton, all trails are open and the mountain expects to operate until the first or second week of April.

  • Bulletin De Conservation Les Parcs Nous Ont Dévoilé
    Bulletin de conservation Les parcs nous ont dévoilé... 2013 2014 Ce document est imprimé sur du papier entièrement recyclé, fabriqué au Québec, contenant 100 % de fibres postconsommation et produit sans chlore. Les encres utilisées pour cette production contiennent des huiles végétales. DE LA CONNAISSANCE À LA CONSERVATION La publication de cette 12e édition du Bulletin de conservation coïncide avec le dépôt du Plan stratégique 2012-2017 de la Société des établissements de plein air du Québec. Dans ce plan, la conservation du patrimoine naturel et culturel vient en tête de liste des enjeux et, parmi les axes d’intervention prioritaire, on retrouve le maintien de l’intégrité écologique des parcs nationaux et la connaissance du territoire. Pour arriver à bien poursuivre ces objectifs, la Société s’est d’abord dotée d’une nouvelle Stratégie de conservation du réseau des parcs nationaux. Celle-ci établit les balises de l’ensemble de nos actions en conservation. Par ailleurs, pour faire le pont entre les orientations stratégiques et les préoccupations concrètes de conservation, chaque parc national est maintenant doté d’un nouveau plan de conservation dans lequel ont été identifiées et priorisées les actions pour les prochaines années. Il se présente sous forme de tableau de bord et de « fiches projet » qui consignent toute l’information liée aux actions planifiées et réalisées. Au cours des prochaines années, la mise en œuvre de ces plans de conservation sera au cœur du travail des responsables du Service de la conservation et de l’éducation des parcs. Bien prioriser les préoccupations et les actions est primordial puisque, dans leurs prises de décision et les actions qui en découlent, les gestionnaires des parcs nationaux doivent viser le juste équilibre entre la pro- tection des territoires dont ils ont la responsabilité et leur mise en valeur.

  • Mont-Tremblant
    PARC NATIONAL DU MONT-TREMBLANT CAHIER HISTORIQUE 1895 - 2020 1 LA NAISSANCE DU TERRITOIRE Le parc national du Mont-Tremblant, le doyen des parcs nationaux du Québec fête ses 125 ans ! Territoire de grande nature, il se découvre au fil des décennies à travers plusieurs vocations. Chevauchant deux régions administratives, les Laurentides et Lanaudière, ses 1510 km2 se divisent en trois secteurs : La Diable, La Pimbina et L’Assomption. Aujourd’hui, il est un lieu de prédilection pour les amateurs de plein air. L’AIR PUR ET SEC : L’ORIGINE DU PARC NATIONAL DU MONT-TREMBLANT C’est un sanatorium, un établissement spécialisé dans le traitement des maladies pulmonaires, qui est à l’origine de la création du parc national du Mont-Tremblant. À la fin du 19e siècle, le docteur Camille Laviolette croit en la guérison de la tuberculose si l’on s’expose à l’air pur, sec et frais des montagnes. En 1894, voyant en la montagne Tremblante le site idéal, il fait la demande afin d’obtenir une concession des terres. Le gouvernement du Québec retient la suggestion et cède 60 km2 pour la création de ce centre de soins. Le parc de la Montagne-Tremblante naîtra le 12 janvier 1895, il devient ainsi le 3e parc au Canada et le 6e en Amérique du Nord. Il s’inscrit dans l’histoire mondiale des aires protégées aux côtés des parcs de Yellowstone, Yosemite, Séquoia, Banff et Yoho. Le docteur Camille Laviolette FAITS SAILLANTS • La légende du Manitonga Soutana Manitonga Soutana, en français Montagne des Esprits ou du Diable est à l’origine de l’appellation de la montagne Tremblante.

  • President's Letter
    Nov ember 12, 2019 PRESIDENT’S LETTER W e Are The Fortunate Those who know me well know I’ve kept a daily ski log since my time at Syracuse University in 1972. I started it sophomore year and well, just kept at it. Forty-seven years later it accounts for approximately 1,000 days on skis, which is not bad for someone who used to live hours from the closest ski area. This month, on Nov. 6 to be exact, I broke my personal record for earliest day ever on skis – a half-day spent at Eldora, a Front Range ski area. Conditions on the front side of the mountain were excellent, under clear bluebird skies. With an Ikon Pass, I didn’t have to exhaust myself skiing from open to close, as I used to when buying a day pass. And with free Wifi, I could convince my clients and editors I was still hard at work. Who needs WeWork when there’s a workspace in a base lodge? My first day of the season reminded me how lucky we all are. Our Active members get to tell the public where to go and what to wear, and how to enjoy their time at ski and cross-country resorts throughout North America. Our Corporate members get to spend their professional lives creating the modern gear and apparel we all rely upon, and the high speed lifts, resort amenities and other services that make snowsports such an important part of the lives of millions of Americans and Canadians. To be able to spend our time in this white winter world makes us fortunate indeed.
