Skiing Nr. Two

This post is dedicated to R. my father. He spent almost all his life in mountains. He would love Canada.

Mountain Guard Canada - equipment same, only our Czech cabins are bit more cosy

This time I went to Orford, suggested to me by one of my classmates. Orford is three hills skiing resort very close to US border (http://www.orford.com/en/). It is a beautiful place, with many slopes. The weather was excellent. We experienced all - sun, snow showers, wind, as well as the temperature -15°C. 

... enjoying the view while riding ...

Imagine the wonderful creaky sound of snow when the temperature goes under -11°C. I have heard a lot about American snow, in particular the snow in America is very different from our European. I cannot confirm that. It was such amazing a day. It seemed to me the same. It is truth that powder snow is beautifully fluffy lasts all day  long. I guess despite the sunny weather stays the temperature deep down zero. This is not happening so often in Europe. 

... nothing more to say ...

Compared to my first experience in Chantecler the resort is much bigger and has big variety of slopes for all levels - from beginners to snowboard and free-ride lovers.

It was an amazing day. I enjoyed it a lot. Not to spoil Orford review, I will not talk about food. If you want to know more about this topic take a look on my previous post.
