Skiing On The Edge Of Northern Cape Breton
Our ski offerings include:
- cross-country ski tours, both guided and unguided, on groomed ski trails at our two ski touring centers:
- The Cape Breton Highlands National Park system, which stretches from Neils Harbour to Ingonish Beach, and
- The North Highland Nordic system in Cape North village.
- Both operations offer tractor-grooming, and taken together, these two centers offer over 50 kilometers of regularly groomed trails for both classic and skate skiing
- guided back country ski touring in the highlands wilderness of northern Cape Breton, both in the Cape Breton Higlands National Park and the Pollets Cove/Aspy Fault Wilderness Protected Area.
Northern Cape Breton attracts skiers seeking "out of the way" winter destinations where a vista with more than one group of skiers in view at the same time would be considered a crowded area.
With some of the highest snowfall accumulations on North America’s eastern seaboard, northern Cape Breton’s snow products are virtually guaranteed from late December through early April. Trails are groomed until after Easter, and the mountain wilderness is deep in snow until well into spring, providing access to the highland beauty not possible during summer months. Scrub bush, fallen trees and ground irregularities are buried, making travel through the hardwoods and along the ridges a gentle and memorable experience.
