How busy is Orford on Fridays?

Hi,

We are going to Mont Orford in the Eastern Townships on Friday for the first time and wondered if anyone knew what kind of crowds are typical there for a weekday?

Many thanks.
 
The Quebec school breaks are over so you should not have any problems with crowds. Hope the weather improves as on your drive to the Townships you will not see any snow on the ground until you arrive at Orford . Depending on the temps you will find groomed frozen granular or spring conditions held up by the artifical base.
 
Thanks Anthony. It may be a bit busier since it is Ontario school break this week but around here it seems people either head to Tremblant or Vermont, with Le Massif getting a lot of visits.

The weather is looking decent, below freezing Wed. night and getting cooler through the weekend so things should firm up well. Heading to Jay on Saturday and they are calling for some snow at the end of this week. I'll be happy if we get the conditions you describe without getting soaked.

After coming back to skiing after about 10 years away, and being from northern ontario, it's fun to hit these hills for the first time and do it with my kids. Can't beat the first day on a hill where you have to look at the trail map the first day to figure out where to explore next.
 
One last tip , you can purchase your lift tickets for Orford at Costco at a reduced rate compared to prices at the hill . Good luck with the weather .
