The Quebec resort announced the plans on November 4, 2026, according to [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mont-sutton-is-sliding-into-a-new-era-302928441.html).\n\n## Mont Sutton's New Quad Chairlift and Learning Zone\n\nThe quad chairlift sits in the beginner and intermediate zone and includes a boarding carpet for smoother, more comfortable loading. The learning area has been expanded and now features a second magic carpet that provides a 90m ascent, giving beginners a larger space to build confidence. Mont Sutton also added four new fans and 15 poles to the snowmaking system in the new area, plus 10 poles elsewhere on the mountain.\n\nThe resort introduced a Little Pass, a season pass offering unlimited access to the new chairlift. Three new SUTTON Style programs, Holiday Bootcamps, Your Monday to ski the first tracks and Masters, join all-inclusive beginner packages that bundle a ticket, rental and private lesson. A new bootfitting workshop and a snow park with new modules round out the winter offerings, alongside reusable tableware and a recycling center in food services.\n\nMont Sutton also unveiled a new logo, website and brand image developed with Oasis agency, marking its shift to a four-season model following its 65th anniversary.\n\n## Mont Sutton's $8 Million Chairlift Project in Company Records\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), the project installs a SkyTrac quad chairlift with a boarding carpet in the west sector, replacing the legacy double chairlifts I, Iw and IIw for the 2026-2027 ski season. The same records describe the total investment as over $8 million, the largest in the mountain's history, and list the PARIT grant at CAD 5 million. Mont Sutton is a privately held Quebec ski resort founded in 1960, with more than 60 ski trails and a 45+ km mountain biking network.\n\n## How Other Resorts Are Expanding This Season\n\nAspen Snowmass marked its 80th anniversary with 2026/27 winter offerings that include reopening the Ullrhof restaurant after a $42 million transformation and adding a new Nell Bell chairlift, [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/aspen-snowmass-celebrates-80-years-as-it-welcomes-another-exciting-winter-season-302923551.html) reported on October 29, 2026.
