Snow! It crunches under your feet as you walk along the quiet cottage road. As you exhale, your visible breath disappears into the cold, crisp air. Over the next hill, around the next corner, another beautiful view. If you are a winter enthusiast, Ontario’s cottage country has much to offer. From downhill and cross-country skiing to snowshoeing or dog sledding, snowmobiling or ice skating on groomed trails or on the lake in front of your cottage, winter is beautiful. Too few of us take advantage of this stunning season and the many, exhilarating experiences unique to our province.
