This is our 4th year skiing Mont Sainte Anne. We decided to try it a few years ago to escape the crowds during school break in February in Vermont/Maine/NH. We really enjoyed it, most of all the skiing. They have a lot of snow (every year there's been plenty of snow there) and little to no lift wait. The trails are challenging and some are a lot of fun. When we're up to chasing the kids, we head into the enchanted forest which has a nice run of bumps in the woods. There are a lot of intermediate and advanced runs. The people are friendly and we've been very comfortable there. There's also Quebec City close by if you want to take a day off and explore the old city. All in all, it's a wonderful place to ski and a good value too.

I have been skiing at Mont-Sainte-Anne for several years now, and each time it has been a wonderful experience. There is a variety of trails, and the mountain is large enough that one could ski there for a week without being bored. The back side of the mountain offers some great glade skiing, there are black and double black diamonds for the experienced skier (the area is called, i believe, the Black Forest or Black Knight or something similar), and there are great trails for kids and families too. On La Picard, a blue square, there is a 'sugar shack' where they will pour molasses into snow for you to wrap on a popsicle stick and eat - great for little ones! There are also many different choices for meals, ranging from a crepe shack to several lodges and a little village at the bottom of the mountain with delis and more formal restaurants. A great way to experience this mountain is to stay for a few days at one of the hotels right at the bottom of the mountain.
