Shelters

When you have to climb a hill and need to herringbone please move off the the tracks.

Cross-Country Ski Camping
Would you like to get away from the hectic pace of today’s living for a few days and replace it with:
-
Breathing clean, fresh air and getting plenty of exercise
-
Viewing the beauty of a boreal forest in all its winter glory
-
Observing and interacting with the many birds and animals that live here in winter
-
Soaking up a little peace and solitude
-
Choosing to ski on trails that will challenge your skiing abilities
-
Adventure, who knows what is around the next bend!
Then my friends may we suggest that you pack your favourite easy meals and head out to one of the following shelters for a day or two... and would you believe that all of this is for FREE!
