Located in Tingwick, near Victoriaville in Centre-du-Québec, Mont Gleason is a community-driven ski hill that punches well above its size. With 28 alpine runs, gladed sections, snow parks, mogul runs, and a strong night-skiing offering (75% of the mountain is lit), it’s a compact resort designed around accessibility and ease rather than scale.

What sets Mont Gleason apart is its atmosphere. Operated as a non-profit since 1986, the mountain has retained a distinctly local, family-first character. Its ski school is widely regarded as one of the best places in Quebec to learn, supported by experienced instructors and terrain that allows beginners to progress comfortably without feeling overwhelmed. Snowmaking across the mountain ensures reliable conditions throughout the season, day and evening.

The summit chalet—built in log-cabin style with a central fireplace—is a highlight in itself, offering a warm, unhurried place to regroup between runs. Off the slopes, Gleason also offers alpine touring routes, snowshoe trails, and Le Tube, a dedicated tubing area that makes the mountain appealing to mixed-ability groups and families.
