The January Mid-Week Getaway ski and snowshoe trip to the Huntsville and Parry Sound area is back, due to the great success in past years!  We plan to ski / snowshoe at Arrowhead Provincial Park in Huntsville and Georgian Nordic in Parry Sound and stay at the Holiday Inn in Huntsville.

The January Mid-Week Getaway trip will be subject to the HOC Covid Guidelines for skiing and snowshoeing as published on the Club website. Please read these guidelines prior to registering for this trip. The ski/snowshoe Covid Guidelines include but are not limited to:
