While many GTA-ers are probably rejoicing at the lack of snow we’ve gotten in the area, others aren’t so thrilled. For many, winter is their favourite time of year. Not only is it picturesque, but the winter specific activities you can take part in are heaps of fun. For those who like to frolic in the snow they have to wait all year long to hit the slopes to snowboard, ski, or toboggan. A fresh coat of snow is also necessary if you want to do some cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. Thankfully we’re expected to get a little over the weekend, and to celebrate, we’re listing off some great trails to snowshoe on in and around the Whitby area.<\/p>\n

Another Pickering-adjacent spot, Petticoat Creek is the perfect spot to hit the trails. Grab your snowshoes, take to the 1km track, and enjoy the view! The area has 69 types of trees, so you may want to do some research before you venture out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
