Bromont

Ski Bromont, also known as Bromont Montagne Dexpériences, is one of four large ski venues in the Eastern Townships located east of Montreal, Quebec. Both the city of Montreal and Quebec has invested in the facilities since it first opened in 1964. Sports fans may recognize the facility as a host of the alpine World Cup in the 1980s.

Motorists will use Autoroute 10 east out of Montreal before exiting to the south of the highway to the town of Bromont. American drivers coming north from Vermont will find Interstates 87, 89, and I-91 useful. The Montreal - Trudeau International Airport handles most air traffic coming into this part of the Province.

Seven Mountainsides to Choose From

Bromont Montagne Dexpériences offers visitors seven slopes of alpine fun, one reason for the resort's popularity with visitors. These include Mont Soleil, Versant Du Village, Versant Du Lac, Versant Des Epinettes, Versant Du Midi, Versant De La Cote Quest, and Versant Des Cantons. The lowest base is roughly 590 feet on Mont Soleil, and the highest summit elevation is over 1,804 feet on Versant Du Village and Versant Du Lac. Over 1,174 feet of vertical drop is available at Ski Bromont, which is plenty to create potentials for all skill levels.

Over 189 inches of snow falls on Bromont Montagne Dexpériences annually, thanks to the orographic Snowbelt here. The resort uses 1,500 snow guns that supplement natural snowfall to create a skiable base and extend the season at the front and back. Things can get cold on the slopes, especially in January and February, so balaclavas and multiple layers are needed.

Lodging is available at Bromont Montagne Dexpériences and the surrounding communities, ranging from Bed & Breakfast to Luxury Hotel Suites. A food truck and on-site establishments offer snacks and drinks, with hotels offering more dining options. Park rats traveling light can rent equipment for a day or season, and guests bringing their gear will find the repair shop can get it ready quickly.
