SNOWY TRAILS & SLOPES
SNOWSHOEING
Embrace the snowy wonderland that is Algoma Country
with ten feet of annual snowfall. Venture onto groomed
ski hills, Nordic trails that weave through enchanted
forests and exhilarating Telemark skiing adventures.
For the adventurous snowshoer, the winter landscape
unveils spellbinding backdrops. Embark on snowshoe
treks through old-growth forests, the tranquillity of frozen
lakes and unique ice formations and the possibility of
winter wildlife sightings, a fleeting connection to the wild.
DOWNHILL SKIING
Algoma’s rugged terrain has carved out perfect
conditions for skiing opportunities ranging from beginner
to expert. The 700-foot vertical drop at Searchmont
Resort makes it one of Ontario’s premier spots to ski and
snowboard. Mount Dufour in Elliot Lake has a 320-foot
vertical and is close to the city’s downtown.
