Student Safety is top priority We work hard at providing a safe fun environment for all our clientele and school groups are no exception. Whether it be the snow surface, trail markings, certified Patrol and Instructors, and our high standards of operation, it all adds up. After all, we are known as the Family Ski Area.

Our beginner area is the best in the region

Even a first timer will feel comfortable learning with a chairlift dedicated to the beginner / novice area. A variety of terrain allows both intermediate and advanced students enjoyment.

Safety on the roads

A recently completed four lane highway from Ottawa to Wakefield eliminates those windy two lane roads. Piece of mind and arrive in less time too.

More time on the slopes

Our process for getting the students from the bus through the rental area and onto the mountain is the fastest in the region, resulting in more time on the slopes.
