Barrie Ontario:Winter Activities





Winter is just beginning, and those of you who live in or close to Barrie Ontario will know that the snow has begun to fall. With the large Barrie snowfalls come great winter fun for those who enjoy winter sports.

Barrie Ontario is situated on a snow belt region, which means that wind currents combined with surrounding lakes in the area bring a large amount of snow every winter. On average, Barrie Ontario receives about 100 inches of snow per year. This snow may be an inconvenience for many Barrie residents, but it is also an opportunity for fun in the snow.

Barrie Ontario is a perfect choice for a winter skiing trip. Barrie boasts kilometers upon kilometers of trails to explore and conquer, along with the most ski runs in all of Ontario.

Because of Barrie´s massive snowfalls and state of the art snow making equipment, the small city to the north of Toronto can offer the skiing enthusiast alpine and nordic skiing conditions. You don´t have to go to Europe to experience great skiing, Barrie Ontario offers all the great skiing you can handle and more.

Apart from skiing, Barrie also offers snowboarding and snow tubing which is a great hit with families who want to enjoy the day with their young children and don´t want to venture onto the ski hills.

If you enjoy the cold weather, but prefer a more mellow time in the cold, you may want to venture out onto Kempenfelt Bay for ice fishing. Make sure that you contact Barrie´s tourism office for more information on ice fishing, and when it is allowed before venturing out onto the lake.

Lastly, enjoy your Barrie Ontario winter getaway.
