The Skinny on Nordic Skiing

Thanks to its health benefits and the meditative appeal of gliding through a quiet forest, Nordic skiing is surging in popularity. Click into skinny skis at SilverStar Mountain Resort and Sovereign Lake Nordic Club, whose combined network of over 100 kilometres of groomed and track-set trails is Canada’s largest cross-country system that’s maintained daily. Be sure to stop at a trail-side cabin to warm up by the fire, or ski right into Silver Star Village for a mug of cocoa.
