Mont Farlagne, ski resort in Canada
Mont Farlagne is a ski resort in New Brunswick with 22 slopes for skiers and snowboarders of varying skill levels. The facility includes terrain parks for tricks and jumps, snow tubing areas, snowshoe trails, and fat bike paths in winter, while warmer months offer mountain biking trails and outdoor events.
Mont Farlagne's ski area opened in January 1969 under Edmundston Ski Ltd., after a fundraising campaign among Edmundston residents and construction that began in autumn 1968 on land belonging to Judge Robert Rice. It started with four runs: la Familiale (Couturier), la Rice, la Casse-cou and la Fraser, the last lit for evening skiing.
The mountain takes its name from the Farlagne family, and the slopes were laid out on land belonging to Judge Robert Rice. The first four runs were named Familiale (Couturier), Rice, Casse-cou and Fraser; Fraser was lit for evening skiing. The ski patrol belongs to the Canadian Ski Patrol and trains in advanced first aid, oxygen administration and chairlift evacuation.
The resort operates through most of the winter season, offering tickets for full days or shorter visits, with online bookings available in advance. Visitors can rent equipment like skis, snowboards, and helmets, and accommodations are nearby for those planning overnight stays.
