| And We're Off! Hurray! |
 As of 8:30am, this Thursday December 17th, the Giroux North Quad will be turning and skiers and snowboarders will be skiing and snowboarding at Mont Orford ski area. Finally! Old Man Winter has arrived, better late than never! The combination of the Upper Familiale, Magog, and Jean-Davignon on Mont Giroux offers nearly 2.5 kilometers of continuous skiing. Mont Orford's gondola and the infamous Trois-Ruisseaux will open on Saturday, December 19th, as well as the magic carpet Initiation area. Our snowmaking team has been producing snow almost non-stop for nearly a week now and our skiable terrain should increase rapidly in the coming days, especially if Mother Nature, Old Man Winter's best friend, helps us out. Our objective, as always, is to offer you optimal snow conditions for the upcoming holidays. Please note that Mont Orford will be open 7 days a week at 8:30am until the end of what we hope will be a very long ski season. |
