The slope preparation is excellent.
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
The ski resort is located about 30 minutes from Quebec City and the lifts run daily, without interruption, until 10 p.m.
From the Main Lodge starts a quad parallel to it two t-bars to easy slopes. Directly beside these lifts two further t-bars and a double chair takes skiers and riders up to the top and to advanced runs. Near the Main Lodge starts the high speed quad with bubbles Stoneham up to a further mountain (590m). The runs are mostly intermediate to easy, directly under the bubble are nevertheless also relatively steep runs. From the top station you can swing also to a further quad, which takes you up to the highest point in the ski resort (632m). This quad is only for day skiing and is closed for night skiing, but offers many advanced and gladed runs. Close to this quad is another quad, which is temporarily closed. There are new runs and another new lift planned, which lead then up to 670m. The ski resort Stoneham offers also night skiing every day, which is gladly accepted by the guests, because you can come also in the late afternoon or in the evening to ski or ride Stoneham. For a break you can go to the large Main Lodge with cafeteria and restaurant, as well as to the hotel Stoneham, directly at the bubble. Although the ski resort is not very large, but it offers runs for all kind of skiers or riders, so everybody has its terrain and nobody becomes boring...
