WHEN YOU SIGN UP PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IN THE NOTES SECTIONS

Unfortunately once again Highlands has lost lots of snow and have many of their trails closed. Again conditions at Horseshoe valley are better, though they too will not have all trails open. I spoke with Lori at the chalet this morning. She said we could expect machine groomed granular snow - read spring skiing conditions.

We will ski in small group according to your 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.

If participants would like, I can offer a short, informal ski lesson.

At Highland the cost of a trail pass is $21 and to rent equipment and a trail pass package is $42. Both are tax inclusive. At Horseshoe the costs are a bit higher: trail pass $26, and equipment rental and pass $61.Though I will see about getting a reduction.

If participants want we can go out to dinner once we are back in Toronto.

WHEN YOU SIGN UP PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IN THE NOTES SECTIONS - Just paste the 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 you like a short, informal lesson?
5. Would you like to go out to dinner afterward?

We will meet back at the chalet by 4:30pm at the latest, leave Highlands Nordic by 5 pm., be at Sheppard West (formally Downsview) around 7pm.
