Tis the season to Plan Ahead, Book Ahead no matter what activity you're planning to do. Check ahead for snow conditions, business operating hours, changes to pass purchases and to see if there have been changes to amenities and services on offer.
Always breathtaking, BruceGreySimcoe has the trails, groomed and ungroomed, to match your ski style and your skill level. Due to the growing popularity of snowshoeing, most of the operators across the region have snowshoe trails, too. If you’re new to either sport and just trying it out, equipment rentals and lessons are available either on-site or at local outfitters.
