Compagnie des Montagnes de ski du Quebec takes control of Mont Grand Fonds

Named "Best ski resort in Quebec" by the Association des stations de ski du Quebec (ASSQ), Mont Grands Fonds officially came under the control of the Compagnie des Montagnes de ski du Quebec (CMSQ) on Friday, September 1. La Malbaie town council signed a 33-year emphyteutic lease, renewable twice, covering all the mountain's facilities. With 22 trails, including 7 equipped with snow guns, 3 lifts and 140 km of cross-country skiing, Mont Grand Fond achieved 60,000 skier days last season. Under the terms of the contract, the CMSQ has taken possession of the central restaurant, the ski school and its 60 instructors, the ski rental store and 5 small chalets. A CAD 30 million investment plan has been drawn up for the coming years, including the construction of a detachable 6-seater chairlift and a summer/winter toboggan run.
