The slope preparation is very good.
Tip: By new snow, an optimal slope prepartion is not always possible, even with a large effort. In addition, the new snow can not combine with the snow lying underneath and moguls are created quickly. For safety reasons, usually no slope preparation is possible during operating times.

Detailed description of the ski resort
In Beaupré the Highway 138 branches and leads about 3km up to Mont Sainte Anne to the hotels and ski lifts. From the large parking lots the high speed quad with bubbles L'Express du Sud starts with direction Mont Sainte Anne. Following the quad La Tortue leads, along a large funpark and halfpipe for snowboarders, completely up to the Summit Lodge at the peak. Also the eight person gondola L'Étoile Filante, with which you reach the peak directly from the valley, ends here as well as the high speed quad L'Express du Nord, as well as the t-bar L'Échappée from the north side and the double chair La Sainte-Paix. From here you can reach nearly every slope in the ski resort. The north side has been made available with the high speed quad L'Express du Nord and parallel to this lift the t-bar L'Échappée. The runs are easy to intermediate. Further some advanced and intermediate runs lead to the t-bar La Corde Raide, which is at the West side of the ski resort and ends near the summit, too. On the south side intermediate to easy runs through forest aisles lead down to the valley on the right side of the gondola, along the L'Express du Sud. On these slopes is night skiing every day until 10 p.m. The runs on the left side of the gondola are advanced and very steep and you have the triple chair Le Trip and the double chair La Sainte- Paix which serves these runs, too. From the slopes on the south side you have a wonderful view of the Saint Lawrence River. For beginners are two t-bars in the valley with very easy runs and the double chair La Tempête. For a break you can visit at the summit the Summit Lodge or the Chalet de la Crête, on the north side it is only the Le Refuge à Charlie and on the south side you have some restaurants and bars in Mont Sainte Anne to choose...
