Camp Fortune: Ski Lighting Project

Camp Fortune proposes to replace the existing ski run lighting and install new high-efficiency lighting to the Meech chairlift corridor and Meech area trails, including Paradis and North American, which are accessed from the Meech chairlift. Lighting is required for maintenance and night safety access during night skiing operations.  

In total, new lighting will be installed at 60 locations, including the installation of 54 new light standards and the installation of six lights on existing chairlift support towers along the Meech chairlift corridor.

The project specifications were designed to reduce excavation and groundworks to the highest extent possible, promote the sustainable re-use of materials wherever possible, and improve the sustainability of night skiing by utilizing high efficiency, dark-sky approved and ecologically sound LED lighting.

Camp Fortune offers a variety of skiing over three peaks. It has 24 runs for different skill levels, seven lifts, and twelve lit runs for skiing at night. The Meech chairlift corridor and the Paradis and North American trails, do not currently offer night skiing; however, the addition of new lighting along these routes will expand Camp Fortune's night skiing options to include more beginner and intermediate terrain that is currently lacking among the night skiing routes at Camp Fortune. The addition will also provide another chairlift to move skiers around the area, reducing congestion on Pineault and Clifford chairlifts. This will make for a more enjoyable and safer ski experience.

Camp Fortune sits on federal lands in Gatineau Park.
