About Ski Mont Saint-Bruno
This ski resort is known as an "urban resort." This means it's very close to a big city, making it easy for people to visit often. It's different from "destination resorts" that you might travel far to reach for a long vacation.
History and Size
Ski Mont Saint-Bruno first opened its doors in 1965. The mountain itself is 175 meters (about 574 feet) tall. It's also located near a rock quarry.
Skiing and Snowboarding Fun
The resort has 15 different ski runs, so there's a variety of slopes for everyone. A cool feature is that you can even ski at night because the slopes are lit up! Ski Mont Saint-Bruno is also famous for its huge ski school. Back in the 2009-2010 season, it was the largest ski school in Canada, with over 500 teachers helping more than 32,000 students learn to ski each year.
Location and Accessibility
Being so close to Montreal makes Ski Mont Saint-Bruno a popular spot for quick ski trips. It's easy to get to from the city, which is why many people choose it for a day of winter fun. The company that runs Ski Mont Saint-Bruno also owns another ski area called Ski MontJoye.
