Highlands Nordic is at the time of posting getting hammered by a snow squall - Woohoo! And have been busy preparing their trails. They should have enough snow for skiing for us next weekend.

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 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 some of us want to, we can have dinner back in Toronto

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.
