Depending on your particular taste, you may have a penchant for racing down slopes at a high rate of speed on one or maybe two slices of wood/laminate. When I’ve done that, I usually end up ploughing a furrow with my face!

Or you may, like me now, prefer to take your time, to “stop and smell the snowflakes” as it were, on a leisurely cross country ski trek.

Regardless of your preference, this page has lots of options for you since the greater Ottawa area, and much of eastern Ontario and western Quebec, offer an abundance of ski options for the Ottawa visitor and resident.

If you’re visiting the Ottawa area to ski, and you need to pick up some additional equipment, there are many options available.
