January 29 Trip Information and Conditions

In our January 20 sunday trip,  various groups explored the marshes and hardwood forests in the area around Gala Lake and Mcrae North. Solid base and new fresh snow made it for a great day. Hoping for colder temperatures to freeze the marshes. We would like to thank all the snowshoers who came out and hope to see them again at the next snowshoe day - February 19.

Check out the photos from the day.

The next scheduled ski trip for January 29 - please call the bus reservation line 416-201-4684 to reserve a seat. We had a full bus this past sunday so please call in advance to reserve your seat before Friday Noon.

Check the reservation line and the website for further details and updates as the week progresses.
