With the falling snow comes endless opportunities for fun and adventure throughout cottage country. Snow sports are incredibly popular, and a great way to keep fit and active throughout the colder months. There’s nothing quite like sailing down the slopes on a crisp afternoon with the view of dusted evergreens and frozen lakes in front of you. Central Ontario has a variety of excellent ski hills fit for every level of experience, here are a few of our top picks…
