These sister resorts—members of the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies family—near Quebec City are expanding as if credit wasn’t an issue. While Mont-Sainte-Anne concentrates on great dining this season, Stoneham focuses on skiing. Try one of Stoneham’s three new sous-bois (gladed) runs, or test the $800,000 expansion of the ski area’s legendary half-pipe.
