Ice Skating

The number one outdoor activity for any True Canadian is undoubtedly skating. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or a novice, ice skating offers a perfect blend of elegance and excitement.

Skiing and Snowboarding

Skiing and snowboarding are thrilling winter sports that offer an adrenaline rush like no other. Whether you’re racing down steep slopes or leisurely cruising through snowy landscapes, there’s a slope for every skill level. If steep hills aren’t your thing, consider cross-country skiing! So grab your gear and hit the slopes this winter! And remember, there’s nothing better than lounging at the ski resort after a long day! .

Snowshoeing

Strap on a pair of snowshoes and venture into the great outdoors! This is a great way to experience the quiet and calm of winter (on those nice days of course). It’s also a great time for winter photography, especially after some freshly fallen snow where the path has yet to be spoiled with foot traffic. Don’t own a pair, consider sourcing snowshoes via rentals or family!

Snowmobiling

What a great way to spend a long weekend during the winter months. Snowmobiling gives you the chance to look forward to the accumulating snowfall and enjoy the serenity of winter. Fortunately, Ontario is home to many fantastic, groomed trails and lodges with rentals and guides. Add snowmobiling to your list this winter!
