Despite concerns about climate change that provides no end to challenges for winter resorts, Quebec's most popular ski area, Tremblant, is experiencing unprecedented demand. On March 10, they announced a large $8.8 million expansion.

The project will see a new summit called Timber, and a new beginner area on Versant Soleil as well as infrastructure maintenance work.

The opening of the new Timber Summit is slated for the 2021-22 season.

According to Tremblant, eight new trails are planned to lead to the base of Versant Soleil and to the North Side. To reach the new summit, a high-speed quad lift will be installed from the bottom of Versant Soleil. A snowmaking system to service this new area is also in the works.

This project aims to diversify the ski area and reaffirm Tremblant's position as one of the top winter resorts in Eastern North America.

Tremblant is owned by Alterra Mountain Company, which is home to 15 mountain destinations as well as the world’s largest heli-ski operation.
