PRE-SALE PRICE: 10% OFF UNTIL DECEMBER 15 // Are you ready for a day of freeride skiing or snowboarding? In partnership with Mont-Orford and the expert team at Team OFR, we’re offering you a day of downhill skiing at the resort to explore the slopes from a different perspective. Depending on snow conditions, you’ll have the chance to explore the mountain’s exceptional terrain and develop freeride-specific skills—such as pop and line choice—so you can make the most of the natural terrain and have fun doing it.
This freeride day is designed for both skiers and snowboarders who want to take their ability to navigate the terrain a step further in a variety of situations and conditions. This day will help you solidify basic techniques that will allow you to tackle natural features with greater ease and confidence. *If snow conditions are unfavorable, we’ll adapt the lesson plan. Part of the day may take place in the snow park so we can practice techniques in a controlled and safe environment. The goal remains the same!
We offer freestyle discovery workshops - super friendly! It's a bit intimidating to try to jump or to go into the snowpark with a queue of skiers watching each other jump... Team OFR (Orford Freeriders), whose mission is to supervise the progression of freestyle among skiers and snowboarders, will introduce us to these disciplines in a fun way.
Freeride discovery workshop
Discover freeriding with varied coaching all over the mountain, focusing on control, style, and maybe even jumps, both in the glades and on the piste. The Freeride workshop will focus on learning and discovering mountain techniques for more stylish descents.
Slopestyle discovery workshop
Discovery of slopestyle with coaching mainly in the snow park, focusing on jumps, ramps, control and style. The slopestyle workshop will focus on learning techniques and maneuvers on jumps and ramps.
Just bring your lunch, your festive energy and your ski equipment! The perfect day to meet new people, enjoy great skiing and practice your freeride skills.
