Owl's Head -- Ski Resort

About Owl's Head

Owl's Head Ski Mountain is situated in the heart of the Eastern Townships of Quebec nestled against the USA border of Vermont State. It is located approximately 145 km east of Montreal, Quebec and 25 km south of the town of Magog.

40 years of Owl’s Head. On December 18th, 1965 Mr. Fred Korman opened the doors of Owl’s Head Ski Area for the very first time. What started as a hobby for this electrician from Mansonville has now grown to a 4 season resort that provides some of the best skiing in Quebec as well as one of the top rated golf courses in the province. Keeping with the rich heritage of the region, the Korman’s decided to keep the native Abeniki name of Owl’s Head in respect to the ancient culture and the great Chief Owl.

The mountain terrain offers a perfect mix for every ability level making it a great family choice for a ski getaway.

The panoramic views of Lake Memphremagog and area are unbelievable. Some of the runs will leave you breathless as you are skiing right into the Lake. Great views of Vermont & New England can be experience on most sunny days.

Food and warm shelter are never far away in the rustic Owl's Head ski lodge. The Owl's Head lodge features a children's nursery and day care center, rental shop, ski school, ski shop, locker area, drop-off zone and plenty of free parking.
