Last year I went twice to Sutton and it was a go for lift access, they are pretty relaxed, apparently Orford is ok too.

I went last year to Orford. They were confused but accepted at the end. Just send an email and they will tell you. I will send one too for you

email from last year:

(snowblades), tandis qu'un snowskate est une planche, comme un
 snowboard, mais sans attaches. Par contre, cette planche possède une
corde, pour empêcher la planche de partir si l'on tombe ou si on
l'échappe dans les télésièges. Un tel équipement existe depuis
 plusieurs années et St-bruno, le mont Sutton et plusieurs autres
 l'accepte, mais je me demandais si vous l'autorisiez aussi.

thanks guys, anyone around ottawa-hull should know u can ride at camp fortune ( 7-8 years now), had mont ste marie for last 3 years, booted end of last season for insurance chair b.s., calabogie peaks might let u ride too, but they're flakey about it. thanks Jordan for the website, still waiting for this sport 2 take off so we have better access. me want half-pipe. Anyone who wants me 2 promote their boards around here is welcome 2 send me a free board for assessment lol, i'm riding a rossignol

you guys should start the 514 mtl skate team all ready 3 of you + your friend that make cool snowskate gathering.
like at the skate park.
have fun enjoy the night skating and the ice for me..
skating with baron is always a blast.
cheers

[barontieri]

we are slowly gathering a snowskating crowd here... I hope we can be enough of us to open up more doors at the local resorts.

[yan_montreal]

yeah, I tried emailing st-sauveur... no answers. gonna try bromont right now.

[c-bass]

Jay peak would be killer on a good day. All natural snow, sweet terrain and a tram to boot. No stupid lift insurance issues... i would think. Worth a shot for all of you on that side.

[yan_montreal]

yeah, pretty sure jay peak is a go.

I tried Bromont yesterday... crappy insurances god dammit

[ben418]

what happen??

[barontieri]

I told you Yan, I've been trying to contact St-Sauveur and Bromont for the last 2 years, they will change their policies only when we'll be numerous enough. Doesn't matter, Sutton is the best and hopefully Jay Peak is still open to snowskaters.

Did not know Mont-Orford was allowed, GREAT! add one more to the province!

Just converted two more skaters today at Mont Saint-Bruno

[yan_montreal]

sweet! convert em all!

[Baden]

Went to Orford today, without calling...big mistake
Mont-Orford no longer accepts snowskates!
drove to Ski Mont-Sutton and had an awesome warm day, felt like it was 5*C
Deep slushy slush on the "bord-de-piste" was very floaty

Hitting up St-Bruno sunday, 5pm-close.
