Spring skiing in Quebec City
Spring is an exceptional season for downhill skiing in Quebec City. The sport is enjoyed by snowboarders as well as beginners and experienced skiers alike.
Temperatures in springtime are quite moderate, assuring a pleasant experience. The generous sunshine is part of the game, allowing the skier to shed a few of the movement-restricting layers of clothing and enhancing the sensation of freedom when skiing down the slopes at full speed.
As a bonus to these mild temperatures, the days are longer and you will come back from your day of skiing with a beautiful tan.

These ideal conditions have an impact on snow and gliding. The sun’s rays make the ski slopes particularly pleasant and easy to ski in the spring. Indeed, the sun has the peculiarity of turning snow into coarse, larger grains, reducing the friction. Skiers can descend the slopes even faster during the spring.
Some ski resorts offer end-of-season discounts. All spring ski resorts offer a multitude of original events, ranging from unique festivities at the top of the montain, barbecues, maple taffy on the snow, non-stop music, DJs, musicians and, if you are lucky enough to be there at the right time, music concerts.
