They do this because most of the trails lean more towards mountain biking and enduro style versus downhill.

Instead of having one option for unlimited chairlift access at downhill resorts, you could just buy one lift ride up at Sutton and mix in a little bit of uphill riding as well. It offers a more diverse mix of terrain, which also means you don\u2019t need a bike specifically designed for downhill to enjoy its trails. If you already have a mountain bike, there is plenty to ride. And with that, you see how things go full circle and how Mont Sutton is a part of a much larger cultural phenomenon in Quebec that makes it the cycling\/bike capital of North America. If ski resorts want to become less seasonally dependent and more four-season mountain destinations, taking a page out of Sutton\u2019s (and Quebec\u2019s) bike scene could be a great place to start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>While Quebec may not boast the biggest, nicest, or most impressive bike parks across its ski resorts, it is its multitude of options that gives it its strength.<\/strong> And for someone like me, who identifies as a beginner-intermediate downhill\/mountain biker, it creates an environment I am much more curious to explore, compared to full-blown downhill biking, which I love, but broke my collarbone doing the very first time I tried.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong>Photos<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_415597\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-415597\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-415597 lazyload\" src=\"image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAoAAAAFoAQMAAAD9\/NgSAAAABlBMVEUAAAD\/\/\/+l2Z\/dAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAADJJREFUeNrtwQENAAAAwqD3T+3sARQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN3HoAAEwzlS7AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" alt=\"Sutton-ChairIII-Lower\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sutton-ChairIII-Lower.jpg?resize=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sutton-ChairIII-Lower.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sutton-ChairIII-Lower.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sutton-ChairIII-Lower.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sutton-ChairIII-Lower.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sutton-ChairIII-Lower.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sutton-ChairIII-Lower.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"640\" data-eio-rheight=\"360\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-415597\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sutton-ChairIII-Lower.jpg?resize=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sutton-ChairIII-Lower\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-eio=\"l\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-415597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of one of Sutton\u2019s classic old-school double chairs.
