Itinerary:
I have reserved the Yurt on site #31 at Silent Lake Provincial Park for this weekend. We now also have access to the Yurt on site #38. There are 40km of groomed cross-country ski trails including heated warm-up huts, really no other facilities, and a whole lot of silence.

There are no on-site rentals available either, so it will be necessary to bring your own equipment or rent ahead. As well as skiing, there is the option of snowshoes, or bring a deck of cards and a few boardgames. The two bunk beds each include a single and double mattress, same-sex sharing may be necessary. Heating is by a wood burning stove.

Photos and details of the accomodation is shown here.

The park is described here.

We will share food.
