The '''Canadian Ski Museum''' (French: ''Le Musée canadien du ski'') is a [[museum]] based in [[Mont-Tremblant, Quebec]]. It was founded in 1971 by a dedicated group of volunteers and [[ski]] enthusiasts. Shortly thereafter, in 1975 the museum was incorporated. Since 2011 it has left the [[Ottawa]] location with collection online or stored.


The museum’s founders recognized the rapid expansion and development of the sport of skiing over the years; this inspired them to collect not only the material and artifacts related to skiing, but also the various stories associated with the early years. These artifacts and stories remain to be the foundation from which the museum has built its world-class collection.
