Mont Saint Sauveur Ski Area, aka Sommet Saint Sauveur is approximately a 45-minute drive north of Montreal, Canada. The Saint Sauveur Valley is a beautiful area surrounded by mountains and a great place to visit any time of the year. The Saint Sauveur area has been popular as a winter recreation destination dating back to the early 1900’s, and this is why it has earned the reputation of being the home of the Quebec Ski Industry.

The Year was 1934 when Fred Pabst of the American Brewing Family decided to install Canada’s first Rope Tow on what was to be named, Hill 70 in the Saint Sauveur Valley. Hill 70 was the new named for what had been known for years as the Big Hill at Saint Sauveur. Red Birds Ski Club chose the name Hill 70 in honor of the 1917 victory in Flanders. Over the years the mountainside became home to many owners who purchased lots, cut trails and installed lifts to attract winter enthusiasts.

Finally, in 1972 after many years of effort by visionary Jacques G Hebert, the individual ski hills that occupied a common mountainside became known as Mont Saint Sauveur Ski Area. To further attract people who may not have been able to ski during the day, lights were added to the slopes, and beginning in 1976, Mont Saint Sauveur Ski Area opened for night skiing.
