Accessible ways to go skiing and snowboarding this winter
Published on December 29, 2025 • Attractions to discover
Whether you've never been on skis before, or you’re looking to perfect your technique, or you simply want to enjoy the pleasures of winter, Quebec’s ski resorts offer a number of accessible initiatives to help you make the most of the ski season.
Quebec Ski Area Association (ASSQ)
The “Never ever day” package
Presented by Sports Experts, the Never ever day package is the ideal intro course for people who want to learn to ski or snowboard in a safe environment. This initiative allows beginners to discover snow sports at a very affordable cost at several participating resorts across Quebec. The package includes everything you need for a successful first experience: a 60-minute group lesson, full equipment rental including a helmet and access to the learning zone.
Save with a ski pass
For skiers who plan to hit the slopes several times during the winter, the Ski Passe-Partout pass lets you save big every time you visit one of the 72 participating resorts in Quebec. It allows you to get five discounts at each resort, which can add up to 360 discounts on day or night passes. And on your fifth visit to the same resort, the discount increases to 50%!
Free introduction to skiing for 5-to-8-year-olds
Children ages 5 to 8 can also discover the joys of downhill skiing or snowboarding thanks to the MySnow Experience. This free introductory activity, offered in an urban park, allows young people to learn the basics under the supervision of a team of dynamic instructors. All the equipment is provided: skis or snowboard, boots and helmet. This winter, the initiative will take place during Gatineau's Winterlude carnival: a great opportunity for kids to enjoy a simple, safe and accessible first experience on the slopes.
Sliding in downtown Montreal?
Why, yes! Les Glissades Gamelin transforms Montreal's Quartier des Spectacles into a mini resort accessible to all. With three hills and six tracks, the site offers a variety of courses for all levels and ages. A heated chalet also provides a place to take a break between runs. Completely free of charge, this activity invites everyone to get outside and discover the joys of winter, even without leaving the city.
