Most people who are truly Outdoors Oriented look forward to the winter instead of hibernating from it. We embrace Canada's diversity and our changing seasons, so when the snow starts to fly, look no further than us to outfit you for your cold weather adventures. We cater to those who enjoy to snowshoe, winter camp, ice climb, downhill and cross country ski. We may not sell downhill or cross country skis but we do sell just about everything else you would need. We do sell and rent snowshoes as well as doing snowshoe demo days in the winter at Shorthills Provincial Park. These demo days give people a chance to try the new style of easier to use snowshoes that are now on the market.
We sell everything one would need for a winter camping excursion as well. This type of camping is gaining lots of popularity now as it has many advantages to camping in the warmer seasons. When out on a winter camping excursion you don't have nearly as many people around in such crowded parks like Algonquin. One of the other advantages is there are NO BUGS, so you won't find any black flies or mosquitoes buzzing around. There can't be anything much more peaceful or relaxing than sitting out after a long day of snowshoeing breathing the crisp winter air as the moon reflects off of a snow covered lake. So if this sounds good to you then come on in and pick up a book on winter camping or speak to one of our staff, and before you know it you will be hooked on winter camping.
WHAT WE SELL: Winter hiking boots and socks, Waterproof/Breathable outerwear, Softshell clothing, Fleece clothing, Performance base layer long underwear, gloves and mitts, toques, Snowshoes, Trekking Poles, winter and convertible tents, winter sleeping bags and pads, ice climbing gear.
