Looking for winter? Look to northern Ontario
These huskies can’t wait to hit the trail. They know it’s winter, but many of their guest mushers need convincing.
"We have no snow in Whitby and I phoned a couple of times so far just to see if there’s snow and she said of course there is!" said one tourist.
"That’s actually our biggest challenge this year – convincing everyone ‘honest, we have snow, lots of it, just come up north," says Tanya McCready of Winterdance Dogsled Tours.
Here at Winterdance Dogsled Tours near Haliburton, it’s business as usual. Same story at ski resorts and on trails used by snowmobilers and cross-country skiers. In fact, aside from a slow start to the season - the only real difference has been the temperatures.
"This year as opposed to other years we’ve just had such comfortable temperatures to get out and enjoy winter recreation," says Jack Lynch of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture. "So if you’re a new Canadian for example, or somebody who’s maybe been wanting to try some winter recreation but maybe wasn’t into it because of the temperatures – well, this is the year to try it."
These folks will be the first to tell you - it’s worth the drive.
"We had a great day today," said one tourist, while another exclaimed, "Winter does exist!"
