At Le Massif you feel like you’re skiing more than just
a mountain. The Saint Lawrence River offers splendid
changing vistas. Le Massif has 48 trails and glades over
410 acres with a 2,526-foot (770 meter) vertical drop.
High-speed quads have the ability to carry 8,700 skiers per

sailor.
Get out and Have Fun!
