Mountain Improvement Work

SStoneham
Blasting and excavation work were carried out to add a third jump to the slopestyle course, while also reducing the amount of artificial snow required. A new snowmaking system was installed in the halfpipe to optimize conditions throughout the season.

Le Relais
Excavation work made it possible to extend and widen the mogul course as well as the ski jump, also helping to reduce snowmaking needs. In addition, a block retaining wall was built for the judges’ tower, improving site infrastructure.

Mont-Sainte-Anne
Several major improvements were completed:

  • Installation of permanent A-type safety nets
