Highlands Nordic is on the Niagara Escarpment near Collingwood, about 2 hours drive from Toronto. It has nice, winding trails through snowy woods and farm fields, as well as -- on a clear day -- amazing views of Georgian Bay. There are 25 km of trails ranging from easy to intermediate. There's also a lodge with a limited cafeteria, rooms to eat bag lunches, a change room, a pro shop and rentals. There are no lockers so you may want to leave valuables in your car or keep them on you.

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 for the day. If you need to rent equipment, the cost is $35 including trail pass.

We will ski in small groups according to your level and pace.
