SAINT-COME, QC, January 5, 2023 /CNW Telbec/ – Since October 2022, the new administration of the Val Saint-Côme ski resort, is working intensely to make the resort prosper. It is with great pleasure that the team inaugurates the Alex Bilodeau World Cup ski slope. This will be the first evening freestyle skiing competition track in Canada and the third in the world after Finland and United States.
Over the past few months, 45 light poles have been installed by helicopter along the runway to provide a unique experience. Remember that Val Saint-Côme will host the next Moguls Skiing World Cup in singles and in parallel on the evening of January 27 and 28, 2023. In this event, the best freestyle skiers in the world will try to win the fourth of six events on the circuit.
This project represents an investment of over $300,000. It was made possible thanks to the new owners of the Val Saint-Côme Ski Resort, Freestyle Canada and the VSC Freestyle Center of Excellence. Technilight Éclairage au del, Les Entreprises Electriques Angers, CBC Électrique and Passport Hélico are also proud sponsors who have contributed by investing more than $150,000 in sponsorships, equipment and expertise, in addition to having done all the work brilliantly.
A new impetus
This step is just the beginning. The new owners are already working on several projects to develop the economic and tourist potential of the mountain and make it an essential outdoor destination for families and nature lovers, all year round. To achieve this, Lyscor Investissements and its partners are already working on a few large-scale projects: a mountain bike course as well as several other large-scale projects that will be unveiled in the coming months.
Estimate

These investments will allow Val Saint-Côme to continue to develop internationally renowned athletes such as Gabriel Dufresne and to help our local skiers reach their full potential. the January 27 et 28 will be spectacular and will greatly contribute to the influence of the mountain both in the region and internationally. This is a first step in our mountain development plan. Our goal is simple: that Lanaudière and everyone Quebec be proud of your mountain.”

“What a great accomplishment to see this slope open today! It’s a great accomplishment because this lighted slope will allow us to continue and maximize the development of athletes in the region. It is very important to us that skiers have all the tools at their disposal to help them achieve their goals. With this announcement, we reiterate our support for skiers like Gabriel Dufresnea great source of inspiration for the region.”
– Carole Véronneau-Gagné, President of the Val Saint-Côme Freestyle Skiing Center of Excellence
“We are extremely satisfied with the investments made by the new owners of the resort and the support of the Lanaudière region in the development of sports in Val St-Côme. The lighting of the track allows us to hold a World Cup at night and to stand out on the international scene. An evening event brings a unique atmosphere and will charm international teams.
The World Cup is an excellent window of visibility for the sports system in general and a golden opportunity to promote the various programmes. Beyond the visibility of the event, these facilities provide the opportunity for athletes from national, provincial and regional teams to train at night and allow the center of excellence to offer a better experience to the teams that come to train and participate in other competitions on the same slope, including a stage of the NorAm Cup and the Canadian Championships. »
