Itinerary:

The snow is gone in Toronto. BUT Highlands has received more than 4 meters of snow this year. And they still has a 15 cm packed base of snow. Their trail conditions should offer us fine skiing next Saturday. Plus they are really friendly and accommodating too!

After we are finished skiing, I would like to have dinner in a restaurant in the nearby village of Creemore, though it will depend whether others, especially drivers, want to as well.

If we have 10 or more we get group rates which are $13 for trail pass and $30 for equipment rental and trail pass per person. Individual trail passes cost $17.00 for the day. If you need to rent equipment the costs is $35.00 which including trail pass for the day as well.

We will ski in small group according to level and pace. There is a chalet with food and drinks, though it only serves basic food. Therefore, you might want to bring your own lunch.

When you arrive at Highlands Nordic, please go to the chalet and tell the person selling trail passes that you are with the Toronto Outdoor Club and would like the group rate. If you need to rent equipment too, ask for the group rental form. Fill it out and pass it on to the next person from our group who needs to rent equipment.

WHEN YOU SIGN UP PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IN THE NOTES SECTIONS - Just paste my questions there and then answer them.

For drivers, and possible drivers…
1. How many passengers can you take with you, if you take skis and if you don’t take Skis? Also, can you take skis on roof racks? Important for people with long skis.
For everyone...
2. Are you taking skis up with you? Or will you rent them?
3. If you are taking your skis, how long are they? – Please estimate if you are unsure.
4. Would like to have dinner in Creemore?

We will leave Highlands Nordic by 5 pm. and be back at Downsview by 7pm. If we have dinner in Creemore it will be between 9pm and 10pm
