Yes, it&#8217;s us who make sure to provide you with the best skiing conditions throughout the winter! Although our role is seasonal, different teams are active during the off-season to prepare for our arrival. Discover the behind-the-scenes of our team![\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Essential maintenance<\/h5>\n<p>During the summer, our colleagues in Site and Equipment Maintenance take care of our precious groomers. The tracks are removed, and the mechanical and electrical components are thoroughly checked.<\/p>\n<p>Our fleet includes 8 groomers and 1 equipped with an elevated work platform. Each of them goes to the garage for a complete inspection to ensure optimal performance and to be ready to tackle the slopes as soon as the snowflakes begin to fall.[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Summer grooming : What is it?<\/h5>\n<p>Every winter, our team observes and notes areas that may require special attention for the upcoming seasons. During the summer, we get to work improving the slopes and terrain with an excavator. The goal is to eliminate holes and level the ground, focusing on areas that were identified as critical during the previous ski season. This is what we call summer grooming.<\/p>\n<p>These efforts help reduce the amount of snowmaking required and make it easier to maintain the slopes during the winter. It makes the groomer operators\u2019 work more efficient and ensures the slopes are in excellent condition for skiers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43548&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt-legal\">Summer grooming in action<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43550&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt-legal\">Summer grooming in action<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>From mountain biking to skiing<\/h5>\n<p>If you are a mountain biker, you\u2019ve probably noticed that some of our bike trails cross with our ski slopes. During the off-season, we need to work on these areas, smoothing them out to welcome the snow. A good example is the lower part of the Sept trail, which crosses the Knowlton! The inclined turns and jumps need to disappear before snowmaking begins.[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Our team<\/h5>\n<p>Our team consists of about 30 people, including groomer operators, groomer escorts, and snowpark rangers. We are on duty from the end of November until the end of the ski season.<br \/>\nAt night, a fully staffed team of 8 people works tirelessly, while during the day, 3 groomers and 4 groomer escorts ensure the slopes remain in perfect condition.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that the Knowlton is the longest slope to groom during the day? It takes about 30 minutes to provide you with a beautiful corduroy from top to bottom.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43552&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt-legal\">Grooming in progress<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43546&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt-legal\">One of our groomer operator<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Training<\/h5>\n<p>The burning question: How does one become a groomer operator?<br \/>\nAs you can imagine, you don\u2019t learn to drive groomers in school. That\u2019s why we offer in-house trainings. These take place at night, when the slopes are calm and clear. The recruit is first paired with an experienced colleague and takes time to familiarize themselves with the machine.<\/p>\n<p>The first phase of the training is observation. Then, the recruit takes the reins and practices certain maneuvers, always under the supervision of a veteran who accompanies them. The training progresses step by step. Once the recruit passes a final exam, they can begin working at night in closed and secure areas.[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>The role of our groomer escorts<\/h5>\n<p>When we think about slope maintenance, we often think of the groomers, but that\u2019s only part of the picture. The Ski Maintenance Team also includes groomer escorts. These are the employees on ATVs that you often see around the groomers or at the top of slopes when a trail is closed for maintenance. Their role is crucial in ensuring the safety and efficiency of operations on the slopes.<\/p>\n<p>Before a groomer even starts its work, the groomer escorts make sure the slope is closed and that no skiers remain in the area. They patrol the slopes, set up barriers, and install the necessary signage to warn skiers about ongoing maintenance.<br \/>\nGroomer escorts work closely with groomer operators. They guide the groomers and ensure the work goes smoothly. Their vigilance helps maintain a safe environment for the maintenance team and, of course, for skiers once the trail is reopened.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to seeing you on the slopes and letting you enjoy all the work we\u2019ve done.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43554&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt-legal\">A team member in action<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43556&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt-legal\">A trail closed for maintenance<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">See you soon on the mountain!<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_bloc_separateur][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Take a behind-the-scenes look at the Ski Lift Team<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Hello!<\/p>\n<p>This is the Ski Lift Team.

This period is crucial as it allows all teams to prepare for winter. Our team consists of a large number of seasonal employees, as well as 14 permanent and regular employees who play a key role in the transition between summer and winter.<\/p>\n<p>During the off-season, we prepare a lot of equipment for the ski lifts but also lend a hand to other teams. As you know, it&#8217;s a real sprint that begins as soon as the Water Park closes! We mainly support the mountain maintenance team, whose first mission is to dismantle the Water Park. For us, this includes storing trash cans, picnic tables, and lounge chairs. We also take care of closing the Hiss\u00e9o Adventure Park, cleaning and storing the games, and ensuring everything is winterized for the ski season.<\/p>\n<p>We also collaborate with the industrial maintenance team to support them in maintaining the ski lifts.<\/p>\n<p>But we have spent a good part of the last few weeks training our team and other teams, whether it&#8217;s for ATV driving in the mountain, equipment lockout, or confined space work training.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43368&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt-legal\">Ski lift training<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43370&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt-legal\">Operator&#8217;s cabin<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Recruitment: A Process That Begins in September<\/h5>\n<p>Starting in mid-September, we begin recruiting seasonal employees who will join us for the winter. Our team needs more than 200 people to operate the ski lifts. Think about it: the mountain is open 7 days a week, from morning to evening! We divide our days into two shifts, with between 30 and 40 team members present for each shift, totaling about 375 shifts per week, including all permanent, regular, seasonal employees, and managers. To operate the lifts safely, each shift includes inspectors, attendants, operators, pivots, assistant chiefs, chiefs, and trainers.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, every fall, we recall our employees from the previous season, and the return rate is impressive: this year, 70% of the team is coming back! That certainly takes some pressure off![\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Team Training<\/h5>\n<p>All new employees receive theoretical and practical training before the opening. Training also continues with customers once the resort is open. When the season starts, we also conduct individual training sessions on the mountain. In total, the team benefits from approximately 1,000 hours of training each year![\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43372&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt-legal\">Ski lift training<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43382&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"txt-legal\">Ski lift training<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Welcome Day<\/h5>\n<p>By the time you read this, the ski lift team will be in the final stretch, and recruitment will be coming to an end! Last Saturday, we held the welcome day for our 200 seasonal employees. It was an opportunity to explain the season&#8217;s schedule, discuss new features at the resort, and continue their training.

In fact, the lower the humidity, the better the conditions for snow production.<\/p>\n<p>We also keep an eye on wind conditions, because, as you might guess, we want the snow to fall on the slopes rather than being carried away. Did you know that warm winds are extremely harmful to snow? They cause it to melt even faster than rain![\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Before the Launch of the Snowmaking Factory<\/h5>\n<p>As soon as the ski season wraps up in April 2024, the team gets to work preparing for the 2024-2025 season.

Do you see where the outdoor stage for the Apr\u00e8s-Ski shows is usually set up? At the bottom of the Cowansville slope? It will be set up once the snowmaking on the plateau is complete. To prepare for its setup and ensure its stability throughout the winter, we\u2019ll place concrete blocks in the right spots this fall, which will then be covered with snow. Using GPS points recorded by the team, we\u2019ll locate these blocks under the snow to serve as the base for the stage. Additionally, in the fall, we bury pipes to run the electrical cables that will power the stage and the control room. This way, we avoid having to dig trenches once the plateau is snow-covered.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Preserving the Summer Site<\/h5>\n<p>In the coming days, we will also install a massive 16-foot snow fence between the lagoon and the Mont Soleil lift. In the summer, there&#8217;s a staircase in this spot leading down to the wave pool. When we begin snowmaking on this slope, the height created between the ski run and the building housing the Ticket Office is quite impressive. The fence is designed to ensure the safety of skiers on Mont Soleil.<\/p>\n<p>We will also place large wooden logs around the basins to protect the concrete from snow groomer traffic. This way, when the snow melts, the logs will guide the groomers and protect the infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>These details may go unnoticed by skiers, but they make all the difference for the maintenance and safety of the facilities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_bloc_spacer spacer_hauteur=&#8221;20_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>A sustainable commitment: planting trees to preserve the mountain<\/h5>\n<p>This fall, no fewer than 1,000 trees will be planted on the mountain!
