Sommet Edelweiss is a ski resort in Wakefield, Quebec, in the Gatineau Hills north of Ottawa, long known for family-oriented skiing centered on beginner and intermediate terrain and a popular snow tubing park. Founded by Andy Tommy, Art Tommy, and Reg Lefebvre, the resort early on added snowmaking and night skiing and operated long daily hours. Dick Gagne managed the mountain for nearly fifteen years, and Edelweiss also became linked with local ski racing talent from the Tommy and Gagne families. After its 2000 acquisition by Mont Saint-Sauveur International, major upgrades modernized lifts, trails, snowmaking, grooming, terrain-park facilities, and beginner-focused amenities.
