March 21, 2006 – The fifth and final weekend of competition on the Quebec University ski circuit took place this past Saturday and Sunday at Mont Garceau in St. Donat.

On the women's side, Bishop's struggled in both slalom competitions, finishing in fourth on both Saturday and Sunday. Montreal, meanwhile, was dominant, capturing five of six podium positions to move into first place and end the McGill Martlets six-year reign as women's champs. On the men's side, Montreal captured the title for a seventh straight season. McGill, Laval and Bishop's finished in second, third and fourth place respectively. Bishop's fourth-place finish was their best since 2001.
