Ski Montcalm is an alpine ski resort in Rawdon, Québec, Canada. The mountain, which is in the Lanaudière region, has operated since 1969.[1] The ski area is distributed on three mountainsides, with twenty-four trails.[2] Ski Montcalm is a member of the Quebec Ski Area Association (ASSQ).
Ski Montcalm was opened by Tadek Barnowski in 1969, just a few years after immigrating from Poland.[3] Ski Montcalm is one of the few hills that remains family-owned, Barnowski having passed the ownership down to his children, John and Joanna.[3]
A covered ramp was installed before the beginning of the 2019 ski season,[3] allowing young skiers to get up the training hill more comfortably. This type of technology is a first in Canada. A similar covered ramp was installed in Europe at Chamonix.
During the 2019-2020 winter season, there are numerous activities organized by the ski resort to celebrate their 50th year in operation.[3]
In 2019, Ski Montcalm has joined the OuiCanSki program, the goal of which is to initiate new Canadians to snow sports.[3]
