World-class skiing will reach new heights as Mont-Tremblant plans a major expansion on the iconic mountain. On Tuesday, the ski resort located in the Laurentian Mountains, about 130 kilometres northwest of Montreal, announced it was making substantial investments into what it called Timber Summit, a brand-new ski sector featuring eight trails and a new high-speed chairlift slated for the 2027-2028 winter season. The new terrain will also have a vertical drop of 428 metres toward Versant Soleil and complete snowmaking coverage across all skiable terrain. The iconic mountain said it is also planning to add a new beginner learning area at Versant Soleil opening this upcoming season, which will offer guests even more ways to explore and enjoy the slopes. The new learning area will provide first-time skiers with a space to build confidence and develop their skills. It will be open on weekends and during peak periods. The 1.1-acre area will include a covered surface lift, gentle terrain with an average slope of approximately 13 degrees and a snowmaking system to provide full coverage for the area. In a press release, Tremblant said it was investing $42.5 million in the expansion, reflecting its long-term commitment to enhancing the mountain experience by increasing its hourly lift capacity by 10 per cent. It also noted the capital would support the continued growth of Versant Soleil, backed by the presence of Club Med Tremblant. “Timber Summit represents much more than an expansion of our ski terrain. It reflects our commitment to continually elevating the Tremblant experience and creating new opportunities for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities, today’s families, and generations to come,” said Patrice Malo, president and CEO of Station Mont Tremblant.
