Mont Sainte Anne in Quebec and Escape2ski connect you to skiing, snowboarding, snow reports, trail maps, lift tickets, lodging and webcams. The ski area is located in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, Canada. The geographic location of this region makes it a great place to visit any time of the year, especially due to its proximity to the world renowned Quebec City (44km/28mi southwest of the Resort), which is steeped in history, as well as, culture and entertainment. While Mont Sainte Anne with its incredible view of the St Lawrence River was the perfect place to cut the first trail, Mont Sainte Anne didn’t see real growth or presence within the skiing and (now snowboarding) world until January 1966 when ten trails and four lifts, including a Gondola, opened to the public. Today, Mont Sainte Anne has grown into a magnificent four-season resort for the world to take notice of.
