Skiing, sliding....
While the winter months in Nova Scotia's main cities can be foggy, cold, and rainy, the Cobequid Mountains and the Northumberland area often boast the idyllic snow covered image often seen on many postcards. While winter pursuits in Nova Scotia are not limited to skiing and snowboarding, these activities are certainly an important and popular part of the season.

Not just skiing....
For those who are not tempted by the idea of sliding around on the ice or snow there are plenty of alternatives. If you don't trust your own sporting abilities, you have the option of riding or being pulled by a team of horses. There are a number of destinations which offer sleigh rides. Spend an evening enjoying a romantic  sleigh ride under the twinkle of the north star.
Give us a call, we can make the arrangements!
