Description
Join us for an awesome day of winter fun in Duntroon.
Cross-country skiers: Glide through forests and fields on 25 km of trails groomed for classic and skate skiing. Enjoy amazing views (you can see Georgian Bay) and warm up with a hot drink and fresh baked treat in Highlands' cozy chalet. Classic ($30) and skate ski ($55) rentals available. All cross-country skiing is self-guided. Ski passes are $33 per person.
Winter hikers, Option 1: Join Michael Humpage, David Royle and Brenda Menezes for a fun guided hike on the Bruce Trail with great views and good company. The group will be out all day and eat lunch on the trail. Depending on conditions you may need snowshoes, microspikes, or just boots. Option 2: Join Tim Wainwright and Ted Moriarty for a guided snowshoe hike on Highlands' trails. Those staying on resort will need to purchase trail passes ($14); snowshoe rentals ($18) are available for those who stay on resort.
Trail fees will be collected in cash on the bus. We will leave the resort at 4 PM.

Policy for running this trip: To run this trip we need 40 registrants 8 days in advance. We may cancel the trip on short notice if there is substantial risk of trail or resort closure due to major weather warnings. If there is enough snow to ski and conditions are marginal or better, we will go. Marginal conditions mean not ideal skiing conditions. For example, wet snow, a thin bumpy base, or some icy patches. If TBTC cancels the trip, we will refund your coach fare. No refund if you cancel.
