MOUNT ORFORD
8th Edition
SATURDAY MARCH 17
For the last eight years, mountain and Winter sports fools have been meeting on Mount Orford to take the start of the Snow Trail.
The Snow Trail Challenge takes place at nightfall and is to travel the one or three summit (s) of Mount Orford on the ski slopes of the resort.
New for 2018! Skimo’s courses take the new official skimo trails of Mount Orford and Mont-Orford National Park! Some longer courses with sections in the forest.
Equipped with a good head lamp, you have to climb several peaks of Mount Orford by choosing the mode of progression of your choice: race or trekking/mountain skiing (Skimo).
For the third consecutive year, the Snow Trail will counts in the cumulative score of the SkimoEast series. Feel free to consult the other dates of the SkimoEast series by following this link: www.skimoeast.com
The Snow Trail registration includes medals in the different categories, participation prizes and a souvenir of the Snow Trail.
