Les Pentes 40-80
Les Pentes 40-80 (previously Côtes 40-80, 45°57′18″N 74°08′45″W / 45.9549041°N 74.1457133°W) was a municipal ski hill in Sainte-Adèle.[1] It catered to novice skiiers.[2] The ski station was one of the first alpine ski station in the country, and was very popular in the 1950s.[1] The ski station was deeded to the municipality by Charles Bronfman, with a clause saying that it needed to stay a ski slope.[1] With the closure of the station, demolition of the base chateau and removal of the ski lifts, the area remains a public park with accessible ski runs but no lifts or services.[1]
At the end of the station operating history, it was composed of a base chateau, four ski lifts, three T-bars and a magic carpet, five pistes, two green (runs 40, 60), a blue (run 80), a black diamond (run 100), and a glade double black diamond (run 120 or "Bois joli").[3][4] It had a 100 m (330 ft) vertical and the longest run was 600 m (2,000 ft).[5] At one time, it was the cheapest lift ticket in the Laurentians.[6]

Le Chantecler (45°56′43″N 74°08′32″W / 45.9451467°N 74.1423288°W) was an alpine ski hill on the south side of Mont Chantecler in Sainte-Adèle, on the north side is the still open Ski Chantecler.
