SKI THE NEW TRAILS AT HARDWOOD
For the 2nd year in a row readers of Get Out There Magazine have voted Hardwood Ski and Bike as the best place in Eastern Canada to cross country ski. So let's go! This year looks even better as Hardwood has re-routed its 27 km of trails for the 2011 season. The new trail network now consists of 7 different loops ranging from 5 km up to 22 km. We will ski in small groups based on everyone's levels. The group will leave Hardwood Hills by 5pm and be back at Downsview by 7pm.

FOOD: There is a chalet with food and drinks. It only serves basic food though so you may want to bring your own lunch. Here is the menu: Hardwood Hills cafe menu

TRAIL PASSES: A day trail pass is $20.50, rentals are $27 on site (or $15 at MEC) + HST.
