posted on 04-16-2008  Coverage of thick snow, sun, warm weather… Here are the special spring skiing conditions at SUTTON, My Mountain Resort! At once, a waited activity in SUTTON returns: Réal’s Challenge, which will take place on Saturday, April 19th, 2008. The day of Réal’s Challenge should be the longest ski day of the season! When you are a true passionate of skiing or surfing, every additional minute of pleasure is welcome. That's why, Réal Boulanger, funder of SUTTON, My mountain resort! created the challenge which now bears his name. The rule of the game is to make sure that the station, which generally closes at 4 PM, remains open as long as the sun is up, if you want it... Therefore, during the event, the chairlift II will keep running as long as there will be at least two persons every two chairs. Meaning, the closing will depend only on the determination of the skiers and surfers, or the sun! BBQ under the sun!
The sun makes us want to be outside! That's why, all day Saturday (as every sunny weekend till the end of season), BBQ and picnic tables will be installed close to the main chalet. The menu: excellent grills to treat everyone, from the most demanding palates to the most empty stomachs! Also, for your greatest pleasure, beer will be pouring on the terrace of the bar Le Tucker. Après-Ski Party
Of course, the participants who leave the challenge can encourage the others from the outdoor terrace of the bar The Tucker. It is also here that the animation around the challenge will continue with several surprises, good music and of course "racoon eyes" which will be in date! More, more and more skiing.
Réal’s Challenge does not announce the end of season. Since the conditions are still very good and people still on their skis; the date of closing is therefore not set yet. Visit our Website www.montsutton.com to have a look at the webcam picture, the latest photographs, news and activities to come at the station and in the region. Do not forget your camera
Rejoice because the famous SUTTON’s Photo Contest continues until April 30th. So, do not miss the chance to capture the picture which will entitle you to take part of the next SUTTON’s campaign. All subjects are good, as long as the picture was taken in SUTTON. The person whose photograph captures the SUTTON Spirit the best will win. Also to be win: a camera adapted for Winter sports.

Those who know him recognize his courage and its determination to beat the illness. We want to show our support to Jérémy, as well as to all persons living despite cancer, especially young people.

Decorate Chairlift II: One more way to support the cause. All day long, the chairlift II will be decorated with yellow ribbons, the colour of the Relay for Life.

posted on 03-21-2008  In order to promote collective respect for the environment, SUTTON invites skiers and snowboarders to carpool next Tuesday, March 25. This is an excellent opportunity to travel with 4 at minimum or more friends and save 50% on the price of an adult 1-day ticket, at the regular price, during that day. This initiative will be as beneficial to the environment as for ski and snowboard lovers’ wallets. In addition, it will be a great opportunity to have fun with friends hoping to come to SUTTON! And, did you know that SUTTON applies its own code Conscience SUTTON to guide its actions for the Environment? A comprehensive document on the subject is available on the website www.montsutton.com. It lists more than 20 actions taken to date and some next steps to come. Of course, SUTTON has been recuperating cans, stopping bus motors and purchasing phosphate-free detergents, and so on, for years. But recently, SUTTON has taken some new high impact actions such as installing locked thermostats, purchasing snow guns requiring less energy and promoting carpooling. In addition, the resort is studying the possibility of adding more energy-saving snow guns and turning restaurant residues into compost.
One more step for a beautiful and healthy mountain!
