Kolapore XC Backcountry

I visited Collingwood recently for a weekend of downhill skiing. On my way back to Guelph on Sunday I checked out the Kolapore Wilderness Trails for some prime cross country backcountry touring. The place is quite amazing when full on winter is around. The trails are tough and challenging with many steep uphills and downhills - my kind of stuff! Beautiful place for a ski.

Here's a quickly edited clip I put together of some of the fun sections:

I'd highly suggest picking up a map of the trails - there's none at the trailhead.  I got mine in nearby Ravenna, you can find out more on the Kolapore website:

Rockwood Skating

I went skating at Rockwood Conservation Area yesterday.  A most magical place for a skate when the rare conditions are perfect.
