"The Quebec ski area, located about 25 miles northeast of Quebec City, had all four of its aerial lifts shut down last week after the Régie du bâtiment du Québec, the provincial regulatory authority responsible for overseeing building safety, construction standards, and contractor licensing in Quebec, raised concerns tied to recent electrical work at the resort. The order forced Mont-Sainte-Anne to delay its opening for the second time this season,"
"Provincial inspectors lifted the shutdown after a full inspection and audit earlier this week focused on how the lifts perform during power outages and voltage fluctuations, with special attention given to braking systems and operating procedures. According to the resort, multiple brake tests and simulated emergency scenarios confirmed the lifts meet safety standards. The Quebec building authority said its intervention was necessary to ensure the lifts would remain safe in the event of electrical failures,"
Mont-Sainte-Anne had all four aerial lifts shut down after the Régie du bâtiment du Québec raised concerns tied to recent electrical work. Provincial inspectors performed a full inspection and audit focused on lift performance during power outages and voltage fluctuations, with special attention to braking systems and operating procedures. Operator Resorts of the Canadian Rockies met regulatory requirements after multiple brake tests and simulated emergency scenarios confirmed the lifts meet safety standards. The building authority said its intervention aimed to ensure safety during electrical failures and will continue collaborating with the resort. The resort plans to reopen Friday at 9 a.m., though rain could delay the start and a detailed plan will be released soon.
