Seems like all the great skiing opportunities so far have been mid-week. My four vacation days are coming up soon!

We had 24 inches of snow in Sherbrooke (Canada) where I was staying. When I went to Mont Orford on Tuesday (12/16) it looked to be 32 inches, but that could of been some drifting.

I purchased 4 snow tires as a result of this storm!

SkiJay - what did you think of Mt. Orford? Where did you stay? Did you bring any kids with you and if so, how was Orford for them?

I have been skiing Orford on a regular basis since 1996. I love the area. They have just completed their hybrid gondola/chairlift. According to their website it is now in operation! I have no kids. The place is kid friendly by the amount of small children there with their parents. I have been staying in Sherbrooke due to a major discount I receive at the Govenuer chain of hotels, however that property will be closing on 1/16/04. When we stay near the mountain we stay at the Auberge Estrimont. http://www.estrimont.qc.ca
If you check out Orford's website http://mt-orford.com their is a lodging link. I have stayed at all of the Hotels listed at least once. I can give you comments and my not so favorable opinion on one property, but email me for that.
