Big changes underway at the top!
Things have been busy on the mountain lately! The team is hard at work in the upper Mont Brome sector, where some of the most popular trails begin like La Sept (7), Extra-Légère (5), Grande Douce (21), and Kawabunga (56). We’re talking about a full overhaul of the area, with machine work underway to improve traffic flow and safety for all users. The goal is to better separate user types (bikers/hikers) and skill levels to eliminate risky crossings. Some trails are being relocated to create a better-designed, smoother and more enjoyable network.
Over on the Versant du Lac side, maintenance is currently underway on the La Vabo trail (57), and the surface of Banana Split (51) has been refreshed. Give them a try this weekend!
Have you tried the new Berminator (9)?
The trail was revamped by Les Amis des sentiers, with a new line added under the lift at the top of the Versant du Lac. It’s our race track, and it definitely needed a bit of love! It’s now becoming one of the mountain’s signature trails. If you haven’t ridden it yet, go give it a try and don’t forget to tag us in your posts! Watch the POV by Parc des Sommets

Pittstop Race Postponed
Due to uncertain weather — and to make sure we keep the best vibes possible — the No Chain Party race originally scheduled for this Thursday, June 19, has been postponed to Thursday, July 10. As a result, the third and final race, La Finale, will also be pushed back one week and will now take place on Thursday, July 17.
Don’t miss the Quebec Downhill Championships at Festival Gravité, happening the weekend of July 4–5–6!
Week of June 2
A challenging but promising start to the season on the mountain!
Let’s be honest, the season’s off to a more demanding start than usual. Since opening day, the rain has made an appearance almost every weekend. Still, our team remains committed and motivated to bring you a top-quality trail network, soon to be 100% open.
Surface maintenance has been carried out all over the mountain to repair the damage caused by the rainfall and ensure the best possible experience as soon as conditions allow. Several sections have also been reworked, including the popular Banana Split (51). Go check it out!
On the events side, the season kicked off strong with the first Pittstop race, “Fiesta in the Wood,” held last Thursday on the upper Kawabunga (56) and La Vabo (57) trails. It was a great success! Next up: Thursday, June 12, for the “No Chain Party” edition.
For the past few weeks, reconstruction work has been underway on the Berminator trail (9), which was originally scheduled to open the weekend of May 31–June 1. This rebuild is designed with you in mind, to offer a high-quality track, especially with future races in sight. Unfortunately, some riders ignored the signage and rode the trail anyway, causing significant damage. As a result, the work has to be redone, and the trail’s opening is now delayed by about two weeks.
Quick reminder: trail closures are there for a reason.
- To ensure your safety (excavators on the trail, unfinished terrain, etc.);
- To protect the work done by our team and contractors;
- To stay on schedule and deliver the best experience possible.
A closed trail isn’t a suggestion, it’s a clear rule. When you ignore the signage, you’re not just disrespecting the trail builders’ hard work — you’re also letting down the entire riding community that’s eagerly waiting for the trails to open.
Thank you for being mindful of this, and a big thank you to everyone who’s already respecting the rules.
Our Blog Is Back!
Week of April 28, 2025 – The biking season is fast approaching, and our team has been hard at work since Easter Monday getting the network back into shape! As we do every spring, we start by walking all the trails to assess the damage left behind by the melting snow — and yes, there’s still snow in several crossings that needs to be cleared so the ground can dry out properly.
This year, we’re taking on a new project: we’re rebuilding the iconic bridge at the bottom of La Sept (yep, the Drop it like it’s hot, the Flat down, the bridge over 21, the one at the BBQ and Aigre-douce crossing — you know exactly what we’re talking about 😉).
Every trail will get some rake-and-shovel love over the next few weeks to ensure you have the best possible experience on opening day. We already have 7 trail builders out on the mountain… but we’re still looking for reinforcements to round out the crew. Interested? Check out the job posting!
Opening Day: Friday, May 16
For the first weekend, from May 16 to 21, access will be exclusively reserved for season pass holders and Apex multi-day pass holders. If you haven’t already, now’s the time to grab your season pass at the best price of the year. Be among the first to hop on the lift this season — we can’t wait to see you!
