Eastern Townships

Mont-Orford: Trail Improvements and New Equipment

At Mont-Orford, trail improvement work is underway at the Giroux summit, particularly on the Magnum and Maxi runs. Targeted rocky areas are being covered and replanted with vegetation to reduce the need for snowmaking and slow spring snowmelt. The project represents a $1 million investment.

Two new Bison S snow groomers, one of which is equipped with a winch, are also being added to the resort’s fleet. These new technologies will help further improve trail grooming and skiing conditions.

Mont-Orford is already looking ahead to the summer of 2027 with the development of a brand-new mountain bike network. Part of the investment plan announced in 2024, the project will be rolled out in the Giroux and Alfred-Desrochers sectors, with a network designed entirely for enduro riding.

 

Bromont is modernizing the Express du Lac

There’s also news from Bromont, where the Express du Lac is undergoing a major modernization ahead of its reopening for the 2026–2027 season. The project represents an investment of $3.8 million.

The resort is also continuing to invest in its snowmaking operations with the addition of nine new fan guns. Its fleet now includes approximately 1,500 snowmaking units, including poles and guns.

A new Leitwolf snow groomer with a winch is also making its debut on the mountain. It will make it possible to groom runs with steeper gradients.

Mont SUTTON

Next season, Mont SUTTON will inaugurate a new quad chairlift with a boarding carpet, offering a more comfortable experience, particularly for families and groups. The beginner’s area will also benefit from a new magic carpet. The work has also made the slope gentler for beginner and intermediate skiers and improved the snowmaking system, thereby increasing snowmaking capacity in this area.

Owl’s Head

For the new season, guided tours of the mountain led by our owl ambassadors. You’ll be able to ask them where to go, get an overview of the trails together, and benefit from their expertise in the woods.
