Review of Mont Sainte Marie Alpine Ski T...

We absolutely love Mont Ste Marie!

We absolutely love Mont Ste Marie!

With 1250 plus vertical feet, it's the only real ski mountain in the Ottawa region. (In fact there are actually two mountains.) Near twice as high as Edelweiss! That means more actual time on the snow.

The grooming is good and the lodge facilities are excellent with a huge cafeteria & grill. Lessons & rentals are available and the small boutique is well stocked.

The pistes are varied and challenging, from Vanier's gentle Radar and steep Carol Ann and Tornade to the "wilder stuff" on Cheval Blanc.

Bonus! It's very hard to find any kind of significant lines at the lifts, even on weekends. No standing around, folks. Ski until you drop!

We love the place.
