Itinerary:

As often happens, we are short of drivers and so sign up! We can still expect good conditions on Saturday. Happily the precipitation that fell in the form of showers in Toronto, fell as snow at Hardwood.

The skiing this month has been absolutely great! And so I am planning to get one last day in this season - Then bike season starts! But let's get back to skiing... Happily in the last seven days Hardwood and its surrounding got 10 to 15 cm of fresh snow. As a result the trails should offer good skiing next Saturday, in spite of the fact that daytime highs will creep above zero this week. If Hardwood's condition aren't great, we can always go to Highlands Nordic.

WHEN YOU SIGN UP PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW IN THE COMMENTS SECTION.

We will ski in small groups 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.
I have listed the prices for Hardwood (Highlands Nordic are a bit cheaper). A trail pass costs $21.50 (plus tax) per person. If you need to rent equipment, it costs an additional $28.00 (plus tax) for a total of $59.50 (plus tax) per person.

We will leave Hardwood by 5pm at the latest and be back at Downsview subway station between 6:30 and 7pm depending where we go.

Those who want, can go out to dinner once we are back in Toronto.

WHEN YOU SIGN UP PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION
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.
