Mont SUTTON: New groomer and $725k in Investments, new quad chairlift 2026/27

As the whole team feels the palpable excitement of a new season ahead, we’re unveiling the season’s updates!

First, a look back at recent improvements

The last few years have been rich in new features and developments at Mont SUTTON. In addition to becoming a four-season resort, the main chalet has undergone significant upgrades (furniture, reception area, bar, etc.), our snowmaking capacity has doubled (thanks to several new snowguns, new compressors, improvements to the water pumping system, and larger pipes in certain areas), the number of snow groomers has increased, and more. Last year, the elimination of fuel oil in favor of propane and the installation of an electric boiler, added to new universal electric charging stations and more efficient snowmaking equipment marked the season.

For the upcoming Season

This year, your mountain will kick off its 65th season, which also marks the tenth anniversary of its acquisition by the Ryan-Gervais-Chesnay group! Ten years already, with significant investments that continue to this day…

At the operations, new for this season, we have acquired a brand new Bison X Winch Stage V snow groomer, a Prinoth Husky snow blower for our Sno-Cat 2000, and added new rolling equipment, totaling $725K in investments, along with a TechnoAlpin fixed fan on a tower for demonstration.

Additionally, there will be more events at the outdoor terrace of Bar Le Tucker, a completely revamped offer of ski lessons for adults (including an option aligned with the kids’ courses), a geocaching course on skis, and two new outdoor sculptures, a red-tailed hawk and the raccoons Sut & Ton with their snowboard. And last but not least, a very comfortable addition with new seat cushions at the Chairlift II!

Moreover, Mont SUTTON is joining the Indy Collective this season, meaning that holders of an unlimited SUTTON season pass can get an Indy Add-on, allowing them to ski abroad too!

Finally, still available until Friday, November 21, you are invited to participate in the crowdfunding campaign for local artist Lysanne Sabourin and have YOUR personalized character, with either your name or your child’s name, to be installed in the Forest of Wonders during the season! A unique and original opportunity to make your mark in the mountain’s history.

Looking ahead to 2026-2027

But the big news at Mont SUTTON that everyone will be talking about is undoubtedly the revamped look of the west zone. From your very first runs, you will notice some changes in the landscape, as the operations team has cut down trees at the top of the site of the new quad chairlift to ensure its delivery for the start of the 2026-2027 season.

This new chairlift alone represents the largest investment in the mountain’s history, which is made possible by a $5M grant from the PARIT (meaning Tourism Industry Revitalization Assistance Program), part of a larger development phase that will also include the installation of RFID gates at the chairlifts and new four-season glamping sites near Chairlift V. These are exciting additions in the years to come. We’re talking about new investments nearing $11M at the mountain.
