This morning I woke up to a beautiful sunny day. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do some cross country skiing and possibly snap some photos at the same time. So I decided to go up to Morin Heights which is a resort community which is situated in the Laurentian Mountains, about 55 minutes driving time from Montreal. Morin Heights is known for its vast network of cross country ski trails (Over 100 kms of backcountry and groomed trails) and features an Aerobic Corridor where people ski during the winter and cycle during the summer. A day pass is $7 weekdays, $9 weekends. Pretty cheap for an incredible day spent on the trails.
