Snow sailing, snowboarding, snowshoeing make for winter fun
- ...But, recreational backyard luging is just the tip of the fun iceberg. There's a lot happening this winter in Northern Ontario!
- As many in the region already know, if you fill jugs of equal size with sand or some other dense material, you can skip the fancy curling rocks and still have yourselves a DIY curling match on the lake. They're doing it from Sudbury to Dryden!
- This snow sailor in the Timmins area is harnessing the wind with a colourful sail to whip around on the snow like a pro:
- Winter camping can be a beautiful thing for those in the north with a hardy and adventurous spirit:
