Indulge yourself during the winter-spring months in Ontario’s numerous cross county winter Nordic ski areas. Most x-country ski areas are associated with ski area destinations north of Toronto. Most areas provide lessons, and rental equipment packages. Many Ontario resorts have cross country ski trails on site, and provide guests with equipment at a minimum charge. Overnight x-country ski getaways are often combined with a more diverse winter experience including, snowshoeing, snow tubing, of a visit to a winter carnival. Many areas have specials during National Ski Week, Family Day, and March Spring Break and sometimes Easter weekend depending on the time of year and spring snow for skiing.
