QUÉBEC – A law firm representing victims injured in a pair of gondola malfunctions at a Quebec ski hill say they’ve reached a $5.1-million settlement with the owners of the resort.
Law firm Tremblay Bois filed a pair of class actions stemming from two incidents when cable cars abruptly stopped in February and March 2020 at the Mont-Ste-Anne ski resort northeast of Quebec City.
Some skiers were injured and others had their equipment damaged.
Announced on Monday, the $5.1-million deal will be put to the Quebec Superior Court for approval on March 3.
The owners of Mont-Ste-Anne have agreed to pay the sum without an admission of guilt.
The settlement is to compensate group members’ claims and cover court costs and plaintiffs’ lawyers fees.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 4, 2026.
