In 1960, the Boulanger family, owners of the land at that time, opened the Mont Sutton ski resort. It was Réal Boulanger who laid out the first trails in the mountain's woods. The Boulanger family operated the ski resort for several years, until March 2016.
The mountain was then purchased by a group of local investors, headed by Jean-Michel Ryan, President and CEO. That same year, a portion of the resort's land was transferred to the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
Following the acquisition of the resort, the Ryan group made several investments to improve the experience offered at the mountain. Notably, the group invested over ten million dollars to make the mountain a four-season destination. As a matter of fact, in the past years, a summit campground, a multiple of mountain bike trails offered in collaboration with Plein air Sutton / MTB, a giant zip line, a zip line coaster and a disc golf course have been added to Mont Sutton while preserving the mountain's DNA.
Mont Sutton is home to Quebec's first-ever high-speed quadruple chairlift. Mont Sutton's chairlift No. 2 was built in 1985 and has been serving the mountain ever since. [1]
