“I enjoyed learning how to cross country ski. No fault of the instructor but it was -27 on the day which reduced the amount of time we had and where we could go. I also think the group was too large for the number of Instructors available as you are spread out on the track. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't have more time in the forest, but again I think this was more down to the weather than anything else.”

We went to a tipi, where we had options, either stay there with the tour guide or go for a walk (I choose this). The forest is beautiful with the trees covered in fresh snow. I recommend wearing waterproof shoes and skiing pants because sometimes we sank deep into the snow. After we went back to the tipi, where the guide prepared hot chocolate/tea and sausages at the fire (they had vegetarian option too).
