Сводка информации о Mont Orford

Skied Mont Orford for the first time Dec 30/19 to Jan 2/19. Family of 5: 2 adults, 2 youth(13 & 16), 1 child(10yo), all of whom have been skiing for about 7 years (Bristol Mtn, Gore, Mt Ste. Anne, Massif, Tremblant). Very icy the first day but got a great dump of snow for the next three days. Stuck to the greens and blues as the blacks were very icy due to wind. The 4km and Famiiliale were quite good as well as Magog. The kids loved Escapade and Foret Magique. There is only one real building but it is large and we had no problems finding space for our stuff. There is a microwave in the basement along with nice washrooms. There were really only two lifts: express quad and an express hybrid (6 seat lift/8 seat gondola). There was a triple working every once in a while part way up the main hill. The lift lines can get long, especially for the quad - lots of switchbacks. The staff was exceptionally nice and put up with my terrible French and switched to English with no problems. It is nice buying lift tickets inside rather than waiting in the cold. There was only a long line on our last day but it moved very quickly. The views from the summits are gorgeous. You can see across the valley and the lake to Owl's Head, another resort. The town of Magog is larger than you think and has everything you need (multiple grocery stores, CTC, Walmart). There is also a 2.5km ice skating trail down by the lake that is free (parking costs a little bit).
