Itinerary:
Have you ever wanted to ski in April? Well, I sure have, and now is our chance. Last Sunday we had a wonderful time skiing, with sun, warmth and decent snow. We will be skiing at Highlands Nordic, near Collingwood, a wonderful, smaller resort. We will ski in small group according to level and pace. There is a chalet with food and drinks, though it only services basic food. Therefore, you might want to bring your own lunch.

As of March 30th, the resort reports more than 30 cm base and 20km of classical and skate trails open. However, the expected rain and warmer weather this week may take something of a toll on trails. Moreover since this will be the final weekend for the resort, they are attempting to entice skiers by offering mid week rates. Trail passes will be $11. Trail passes plus rentals cost $25. If it is sunny and warm enough, I might just go skiing in my bathing suit!

If this your first trip in 2008, please print a waiver, bring it with you, and complete it in front of a volunteer organizer as a witness. See link below: :
2008 Waiver

We will leave highland Nordic by 5 pm. and should be back at Downsview between 6:30 and 7 pm.

If participants want we can go out to dinner afterward.

Please answer the following questions in the notes section when you register.

  1. Are you taking skis up with you or will you rent them at the resort?
  2. If you are taking your skis, how long are they? – Please estimate if you are unsure.
