People crowd the snowy top of Mount Royal for winter sports, with skiers and horse-drawn sleighs sharing the hill. The view looks down over Montreal, where the city skyline and a frozen river stretch beyond the slope. Mount Royal was a regular gathering place for Montrealers in winter, and the C.N.R. credit points to Canadian National Railways' role in promoting the city as a winter destination.
