THE END OF THE 2019-2020 SEASON AND CLOSING OF THE RESORT FOR THE SEASON

March 23, 2020

Given the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, safety concerns for all personnel, the hazards of remaining equipment left on the slopes, and the desire to inform visitors as quickly as possible, the Quebec Ski Areas Association (ASSQ) confirms that, barring exceptional circumstances, winter activities at Quebec ski areas will not resume this season.

We would like to take an important moment to warmly thank all the employees of Mont-Orford who contributed to the success of this season, as well as our loyal users and winter sports enthusiasts without whom this ski season could not have been as exceptional!

We remind you that the ski resort is not accessible for the practice of any type of sport (skiing, snowboarding, uphill skiing, hiking or others) and that for health and safety reasons the ski chalet remains closed and inaccessible for an indefinite time.

Thank you again for understanding, and we hope to see you all this summer!

To read the ASSQ press release, it's here.
