It’s Dumping!


Teton Village, WY - It’s closing weekend and winter has saved the best for last. Eighteen inches have already fallen in the last 48 hours and more snow is in the forecast. So put away the sun block, new snow and end of the season events will make closing weekend at Jackson Hole the best yet.

Get out your fat skis because closing weekend at Jackson Hole will have lots of fresh powder. It may be March, but we’re riding like it’s January. This is your last chance for first tracks this season!

As if the new snow wasn’t enough, closing weekend is full of fun après events to entertain after the lifts close. From 2:30pm to 5:30pm on both Saturday and Sunday, there will be a band and DJs under the Tram dock. Also, if you're bringing the little ones, don’t miss the Easter Egg hunt on Sunday.

The Spring Skiing Ecstasy at Mont SUTTON


Sutton, PQ - The Easter weekend will certainly be the ideal moment to enjoy spring skiing at Mont SUTTON. The sunny forecasts and the warm weather will definitely give to Mont SUTTON a great and festive spring atmosphere!

With still plenty of snow on the trails, the BBQ at the foot of the hill, the smell of the sunscreen, the people sunbathing on the terrace of the Bar Le Tucker, the racoon eyes, the happy smiles of skiers and snowboarders who are enjoying the Mont SUTTON’s great spring conditions slope after slope… the passionate will have so much fun and take advantage of the spring promotions until the last day of the season, on Sunday April 11th. Details at montsutton.com.

Until the end of the season, winter sports lovers will be able to ski until the sunset on Saturday April 3rd during the Réal’s Challenge. Not forgetting Easter Sunday at the mountain, where several activities and surprises are organized for the whole family! Last event of the season : the much awaited Snow on the Beach on April 10th.

The Réal’s Challenge this Saturday April 3rd
The Réal’s Challenge, thought by the visionary of Mont SUTTON, Real Boulanger, is to make sure the mountain, which usually closes at 4p.m., doesn't close before sunset on that day. In fact, for the event, the chairlift II will stay in operation as long as there is at least two people every two chairs. Therefore, the closing time will depend only on the skiers and snowboarders determination or on the sun! A gathering event for skiers that livens up the mountain and even the terrace of the Bar Le Tucker.
