This February, the Porsche Ice Experience Canada will be celebrating its 15th anniversary. Behind the wheel of the brand’s latest 911 models, participants at the event will learn valuable winter driving skills at Mécaglisse, a dedicated snow- and ice-driving facility in Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci, Quebec, about 90 minutes north of Montreal, company officials stated in a press release. Multi-turn courses are complemented by winter skid pads, all of which allow drivers to explore the Porsche models’ driving dynamics in safe and controlled situations.
“We are delighted to bring Porsche Ice Experience Canada back on its 15th anniversary,” said Trevor Arthur, president & CEO, Porsche Cars Canada Ltd. “Enhanced by the expert guidance of Porsche-certified instructors, this compelling program showcases how our brand’s sports cars deliver exhilarating driving experiences while confidently conquering even the toughest winter conditions.”
Various Program Levels at Porsche Ice Experience Canada
Porsche Ice Experience Canada offers a multitude of tailored program levels: Ice Trial, Ice Intro, Ice Experience, Ice Force and Ice Force +. After its introduction in 2025, Ice for HER will also return for the anniversary season. This variation of Ice Trial was created exclusively for female Porsche enthusiasts and is taught by female instructors, noted the release. No matter what the experience level of the participant, Porsche says the goal of all programs is to elevate guests’ driving abilities and confidence through expert instruction and plenty of seat time.
Originally debuting as Camp4 Canada in 2011, Ice Experience Canada is part of a comprehensive range of winter driving programs offered by Porsche worldwide. The concept was first introduced in Finland, where the offering also includes more advanced Ice Experience and Ice Force events staged on specially prepared frozen lakes north of the Arctic Circle, the company said.
