こちらのスキー場の人口密度も少なく、リフトも日本のように長く待つ事はありません。 多くのスキー場は規模は小さいのですが車で1時間程度のところにあり、貸しスキー,靴,ストック、リフト代、昼食代を足しても100ドルで十分にお釣りがきます。そのためスキーを気軽に楽しめますが車が無いとスキー場へのアクセスが困難かもしれません。駐車場は無料でリフト乗り場の近くにとめられます。レンタルスキーやリフト券の購入方法は日本と同様です。気温は低い事が多いので防寒対策は十分に行って下さい。
モン・トランブラン (Mont-Tremblant) は有名なリゾート地で日本で例えると軽井沢でおしゃれな店が並ぶ。スキー場は広いがモントリオールから車で3時間以上かかり値段も他のスキー場の1.5倍程度するので観光客および金持ちのリゾート地といえます。
その他のローレンシャン地方
にも多くのスキー場があり値段も安くスキーを気軽に楽しめます。
サン・ソヴェ−ル・デ・モン(St Sauveur des Monts, サンソバと発音)には比較的大きなスキー場があります。近くにショッピングセンターや店も多くあります。サンタデール(Ste Adele)にある
ホテルでは、一泊朝食付きリフト代込み100ドルで泊まれ、犬ぞり等も楽しめます。
イースタン・タウンシップス にも多くのスキー場があります。日帰りで気軽に楽しめる場所でお勧めなのは ブロモン(Bromont)です。サンソバと同様モントリオールから1時間でリフトもスキー場も空いています。かなり急斜面もありスキーを純粋に楽しみたい人にお勧めです。
Atrium Le1000はダウンタウンにある室内スケート場で一年中スケートができます。スケート靴やヘルメットのレンタルもできます。
