Mont Sutton

Mont Sutton has been operating since 1960, when Réal Boulanger began cutting trails through the Sutton Mountains with a clear idea of what kind of skiing he wanted to encourage: defined less by groomed boulevards than by what happens between them. Roughly half of the terrain is dedicated to glade skiing, with widely spaced trees that reward flow and line choice rather than quick, defensive turns. It’s technical without being claustrophobic, and that balance has become the mountain’s signature.

The ski area sits on the northwestern flank of Round Top, part of the Appalachian chain, with a summit elevation just under 900 metres. Snow conditions are shaped by a local microclimate that often delivers consistent coverage, particularly in the woods. For skiers interested in earning their turns, Mont Sutton also maintains designated uphill touring routes, allowing access to quieter sections of the mountain.

Since changing ownership in 2016, the resort has expanded its four-season offerings—mountain biking, hiking, and zipline attractions—while largely preserving its winter character. Infrastructure upgrades have focused on longevity rather than scale, keeping Sutton closer to its original vision than to a modern mega-resort.
