History

In 2006, the provincial government and then-Environment Minister Claude Béchard announced the increase of the size of Orford as a national park. In addition, they would have sold the ski resort and golf course to private interests. Inside the 80 hectares (200 acres) that were to be sold, developers planned to build condominiums, restaurants, boutiques and a hotel. The planned development was to be similar to Mont-Tremblant but on a lesser scale, and several other projects had been planned previously.[1] This was successfully opposed by several groups, including environmental. On May 7, 2007, new Environment Minister Line Beauchamp announced that the province would not sell Orford.[2] Following on the heels of strong citizen support Orford Park has since been expanded several times adding over 100 square kilometers of protected area. [3]

Recreation

The ski resort consists of three summits: Mont Giroux, Mont Orford, and Mont Alfred Desrochers. It is the home mountain of Olympic medalist Nicolas Fontaine, for whom there is a track named in his honour.[citation needed]

  • Base lodge with bar, cafeteria, and rooftop terraces
  • Groomed cruising trails as well as moguls/glades
  • Ski shop, repair shop, and rental center
