Congratulations to our Mont Orford patrollers!
Mont Orford ski patrollers did us proud about ten days ago. In a competition against their colleagues from other regional ski centres, our two teams ranked second and third. Their adversaries were impressed with the welcome and the quality of the support Mont Orford offered. Apparently, the staff made it possible to set forth various simulations worthy of a national competition. Mont Orford will be represented by Christine Belley, Jean Côté, and Jean-Pierre Thibault at the Patrollers' Provinicial Championship which will be held at Mont Édouard, near l'Anse-Saint-Jean in the Saguenay region on March 12th, 13th, and 14th. Good luck! Isn't it reassuring to know that our well-being lies in the expert hands of dedicated people?
Mont Orford on television, again
Radio-Canada's television show, Plan de match (tomorrow, March 5th, 6:30 p.m.) will present the Mont Orford ski centre's sit-ski service, among other things.
And on the radio too
Don't miss the Estrie Express live show on Radio-Canada (tomorrow, March 5th from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.)
