The Mont Rigaud Alpine Ski Pre-Competition and Competition Club was founded during the 2004–2005 season. Led by coach Éric Blanchette, the program has helped skiers of all levels discover the thrill and discipline of alpine skiing.

How is this sport good for me?

Skiing gets you outdoors and helps you meet new people, especially in group lessons. It’s the perfect midweek activity to clear your mind and break up the routine. Skiing is also ideal for couples and families, offering shared experiences and fun challenges. Finally, it’s a sport that will push you out of your comfort zone and help you explore your body’s capabilities—balance, agility, and quick decision-making.

What don’t people know about this sport?

It’s a technical sport—very technical when it comes to racing. However, for most people, skiing is quite accessible. At its core, alpine skiing is about balance and maintaining a centered, slightly bent stance—not leaning too far forward or backward. That’s where the idea of being “centered” comes in. It’s also arguably the best family sport. And naturally, the more you ski, the better you get!

My favorite memory in this sport

Watching someone go from total beginner to skiing independently—without falling, without supervision, and in full control and safety. Also, seeing our young athletes reach the podium and win medals in competitions on larger mountains is unforgettable.
