Mont Orford is by far my favorite place to ski as my family doesn't go on many ski trips. I love the affordability of the accommodation and the lift tickets but by far the best part about it is the vibe you get from the locals. They all seem like they know the place so well and that makes it very nice when you need to rely on directions and tips for skiing the mountain. My favorite run at Mont Orford is the 4km run because my family uses as a relaxing fun ride but I can still make the most of it using the fun little side runs and the blue glade that runs off the mid section of it. A few years ago, my dad and I rented some touring skis and hiked up the mountain. We then realized where the true fun in skiing is, as I like to say "Earn your turns" because it shows how much each second of downhill is worth when you work so hard to get up. We obviously skied down the 4km run after the long tour up the mountain because in my opinion that is the most "bang for your buck" run on the mountain (as it is the longest). A big factor for my family in deciding where to ski is the accommodation. Mont Orford definitely ticks that box off with their cute Red triangular houses with wood furnaces located near the Parc National Mont Orford. Overall, Mont Orford should be a bucket list slope for you and your family to enjoy. Definitely reccomend! PS: mix coke and lemonade in the cafeteria for a delicious mid day drink... (unless you want some hot cocoa) Hope to see you this year Orford! -David

Orford is a great local mountain that services most of the Sherbrooke greater area. Home to some steep groomers as well as some technical tree runs, it is a great option for a 25 minute drive from Sherbrooke. One area where Orford can struggle is with snow coverage, many glade runs are closed for most of the season and some years will not open at all. It is a great local mountain, however I would recommend another option in the area if you are looking for some east coast pow.

Our family was there over the 23/24 Christmas holiday. Stayed nearby and commuted about 20min. every day for week. Good conditions considering the time of year, groomed pistes with (mostly) artificial snow were very good, of not excellent at times. Lifts were efficient and fast, staff were very friendly. Restaurant/bar was nice, but not exceptional. Really liked the varied ski hill types from easy to difficult, long and short runs, scenic vs runs where you can practise your form. Overall it was a great experience, the family enjoyed the our tine there.

sooo... Mont Orford is a resort at the heart of the Estrie refion in Québec, Canada. Although on the east coast, it offer quite nice snow quality (surely not powder all season long) but hey, it's fun anytime during the season! it consists of 3 main domains, each with a dedicated (quite fast and short line-up) lift, while the main domain, Mont Orford, being a hybrid chairlift/gondola system. many types of pistes are available from bunny hills to double blacks, as well as slalom pistes, tree lines, freeride line, snowparks and moguls. my absolute favourites are the "Grande Coulée", accessible from the main lift, which offers a excellent view of the region while carving your way down, and the "Cascades" which is more of a fun groomed run that has access to some nice tree lines and 'off-pistes'. as a recap, Mont Orford is an excellent resort in the Estrie region that lets people from all levels enjoy their stay!

Excellent ski resort. Not too crowded and the personel are very friendly. Love this resort. There is no night skiing and the night life are great at the montain and the village.

My favourite mountain in the east. The Orford chair has lots of excellent expert terrain from groomers to cliffs under the chair and hard tree skiing. Some of the steepest runs around.

Orford is a favourite among my friends and I! Only 30 minutes from us, the price is reasonable and the staff and chalet are splendid! The ski school is amazing, the lifts are quite good, and there are a good deal of run option diversity! I did pop a ligament once there, falling, but that was definitely not on them ;)

Nice slopes and efficient ski lifts. I went there three times and I really enjoyed it. Cant wait to go back!
