QMHS Snow Patrol 2016 is a go



Since 2002 when the QM Snow Patrol last skied the slopes of Canada we have been dreaming of going back. We almost got to Fernie out in British Columbia; however it wasn't to be and that year we returned to Lake Tahoe in California, which is also a QM favorite.

We are teaming up once again with Activ4 who have always delivered an outstanding package and was also the company that put together our bespoke package in 2012 to Washington state to ski the epic mountain named Crystal Mountain. Activ4 have a limited offer that will enable us to go to Canada and ski the super snow and hopefully powder too during February half term 2016.

We will be staying slope side at:-

Stoneham mountain is in the Quebec region of Canada. Our trip will depart London Heathrow(LHR) on Saturday 13th February 2016 our arrival airport will be Montreal(YUL) and will return on Saturday 20th February 2016.

Our slope side accommodation is the Stoneham hotel. (Stoneham Hotel)

The trip will allow students from complete beginnners to expert skiers or snowboarders to join the group and enjoy 5 days on the snow with professional instruction. This is the first opportunity for sometime that we are able to offer Snowboarding should we get 8 similar ability students that want to learn or improve their Snowboard skills.



The package will also allow us to do some night skiing and therefore take an afternoon out to explore the old city of Quebec. It is possible that we can experience the Winter Carnival on one evening as well as the thrills of Village Vacances Valcartier, North Americas largest winter playground.




The trip is being launched now to years 7 to 12 and is on a first come first served basis. To ensure we get this deal we need a quick turn around on the deposits so please do not delay in getting in your initial paper work into the finance office.

Trip letters are available from Mr. Hinks in S13 from Thursday 5th March 2015.
