Ski The Frost

classic cross-country skiing

For great cross-country skiing visit the Leslie Frost Nordic Ski Centre on Ontario's Haliburton Highlands - Muskoka border. Seven stacked loops of trails provide access to a winter wonderland that features rugged terrain, mixed hardwood forests, majestic stands of white pine and hemlock, cliff top lookouts and frozen waterfalls.

It is located on highway 35, ten minutes south of the picturesque hamlet of Dorset and across the road from the Frost Centre Institute.

You will find 25 km of trails groomed for classic skiing and two warm-up huts.Georgian Bay sends us tons of snow every winter!

The Cross-country ski trails are operated by Ski Friends of the Frost Centre, a volunteer based not-for-profit organization formed in the summer of 1997 when it appeared that the Centre's trails might be closed. The Ski Friends rely mainly on ski pass revenue and donations to operate and pay for grooming. They also depend on significant volunteer trail work.

financial support

In the spring of 2009 SFFC received grant from The Ontario Trillium Foundation in the amount of $26,800 to purchase two new snowmobiles for trail grooming. The Ski Friends were unable to get needed parts for our old Alpine IIs so this grant will enable us to continue to provide some of Ontario's best cross-country skiing.

This past fall, SFFC received a grant from The Haliburton County Development Corporation to assist with our culvert/drainage work. The grant was for $5,750. Thank you!
