Description
Join us for an awesome day of winter fun at Horseshoe Resort and in the beautiful McCrae Lake Conservation Reserve.
Cross-country skiers: Glide through forests and fields on 30 km of trails groomed for classic and skate skiing. Classic and skate ski rentals available. All cross-country skiing is self-guided. Ski passes are $30 per person.
Winter hikers: Join Duro and George for a fun guided hike in beautiful McCrae Lake Conservation Reserve. 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: Snowshoe on your own (preferably in your own small group) on Horseshoe's trails. Those staying on resort will need to purchase trail passes ($15); snowshoe rentals are available for those who stay on resort.

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.
