The ski resort opened in 1964, for the 1964-1965 ski season, with the opening of the new Eastern Townships Autoroute, Quebec Autoroute 10. It was created in the same year that the City of Bromont was created, out of Brome County. A second chalet was established at the top of the mountain in 1978. The City of Montreal has invested in the resort. The Canadian government has also invested in the resort. Its investment, for a World Cup event, created permanent facilities for the Bromont Ski School. Bromont became the largest night skiing venue in eastern North America in 2006 when it upped its lighted ski runs to 50.
