The Canadian resort is also known as Sutton Mont Sutton and has common misspellings:
The direction which the various Mont Sutton slopes face can make or break your ski holiday. To guarantee good snow conditions, choose a resort with piste which face the right way for the time of year you're travelling.
- In the coldest winter months of January and February pick a resort with sunny south facing slopes, so your days on the snow doesn't feel like a polar expedition. Conversely, in the warmest spring skiing months of March and especially April, a resort with cool and shady north facing trails will ensure you're not riding on slush, but benefitting from best late season snow. The best destinations have areas which face in all directions so that you're guaranteed greating conditions whatever the weather. Mont Sutton has slopes facing N.

Mont Sutton day and evening care plus snow ski schools and babysitting.
Mont Sutton has a very family friendly feel in common with Sutton itself. A basic non-ski daycare service is available for children aged 2 to 5 years in the base lodge at probably the lowest rates of any such facility in any leading ski area in the world. Parents are responsible for providing lunch and during the week the facility is closed for 30 minutes at lunchtime so children need to be collected for that period. For children just a little older, first ski school classes begin at age three. Children aged under six get free lift tickets. After that there's a discounted rate to age 17 inclusive. Down in the village, just as on the mountain, children are made very welcome in all the eateries and there is of course the sweet shop and factory that must not be missed.

Mont Sutton shopping - fashion boutiques, outdoor gear and food shops
Sutton has an excellent selection of stores for a village of its size including some rare treats alongside the well catered for essentials. You'll find book stores, video stores, antique shops, clothes stores, a good selection of ski and board shops of course, in fact a shop for pretty much anything you can think of. In the 'rare treats' category Confiserie Tentation is a child's dream sweet shop where owner Dianne Beaudry is happy to take visitors on a tour of her "sweet factory" where a wide variety of wonderful handmade confectionary products are produced. Specialities include fudge and lollipops. Another remarkable store that will leave food lovers drooling is La Rumeur Affamee, which describes itself as a General Specific Food Store and contains a phemonoal selection of fresh food products. The Village Fish Shop is another added bonus, rarely found in a conventional ski resort. The range of sushi on sale here makes it a rare treat too amongst fish shops. The nearest shopping mall is located in Cowansville about 15 minutes from Sutton. At Granby, 30 minutes from Sutton, there is a larger shopping mall. Knowlton, less than 20 minutes from Sutton, is famed for its many antique shops and there's a Polo Ralph Lauren outlet there. As with a large proportion of the restaurants, visitors should be aware that many shops are closed in Sutton on Mondays and Tuesdays.
