Join us for the ultimate winter adventure! Our most popular trip of the season is here - a mid-winter feast at the Scenic Caves Nordic Centre. Explore the breathtaking winter wonderland of the Niagara Escarpment before indulging in our signature Beer & Sausage Après-Ski, hosted in a cozy private log cabin. Vegetarian options and tea are also available. To make the experience even better, we are allowing 3 guests per member and we’ve extended our stay at the resort, departing at 4:30 pm.
Sign up deadline is Thursday, Jan 30 at 8:00 PM

If you are planning to rent, be sure to register for the trip earlier rather than later, as this is a small shop and we would like to advise ahead as to our rental requirements. Members will need to sign a waiver and pay by credit or debit card at the resort pro shop.
Note that Skate Ski Package rentals cannot be guaranteed.

We will guarantee lessons for Never Evers and Beginners, but unfortunately, Intermediate and Advanced skiers may not be accommodated.

The remainder will show up as a credit on your account.
