Get ready to make a splash.

Dressed in creative and dazzling costumes, brave contestants attempt to cross a frigid, super-sized puddle at the base of Cash Register. While some will make it, others will not. Which is more exciting for the raucous onlookers is a subject of great debate. Either way, this is Spring Splash – an exciting day for competitors and spectators alike.

Prizes will be awarded for most successful cross, most unsuccessful (read: biggest splash), best costumes, and most creative crossing. The $10 entry fee is due on registration at the Snow School Desk. Entries are limited, so get there early.

For those who are happier to watch, we encourage you to grab a famous Sir Sam’s Caesar, a cold one from Boshkung or Muskoka Brewery, or perhaps even a Gin & Tonic and experience the excitement from the spacious chalet sun deck.

Wrapping up the day is an Aprés Ski Dinner & Dance with live music. Tickets are $45/person and must be purchased in advance. Must be 19+ to attend dinner & dance.

Join us on this exploration hike from Devil’s Lake to Moore Falls. This is a challenging, 8.75 km hike over rugged terrain. This hike will be a little different – not the usual Devil’s Lake – Moore Falls route along the main and Devil’s Lake side trails but via the “Queen’s Corridor”, an old hydro line/ATV trail that meets up with the main trail where it crosses Black Creek.

After meeting at Moore Falls access point we will car shuttle to the Devil’s Lake parking lot to begin the hike. Arrive 20 minutes early to sign the waiver and organize the car shuttle.

Hiking boots, icers and min. 1 liter of water are required. Hiking poles are a good idea. Bring snowshoes as they may be needed depending upon conditions.

No Dogs. No drop out.

All participants will be required to sign the “Ganaraska Hiking Trail Association Waiver of Liability & Assumption of Risk” prior to participation.

Space is limited. Email glynnr@hotmail.com to register.

Nothing is more Canadian than the majestic Sugar Maple Tree: inspiration for our national flag, painter of our glorious autumn landscape, source of excellent hardwood and producer of the sweet sap from which Maple Syrup is made.  From birch bark containers to log troughs, to wooden buckets and iron kettles, to plastic pipelines and oil-fired and reverse osmosis systems, Maple Syrup remains as it always has been; our first taste of springtime in Ontario…our sweet heritage.

Here at Wintergreen, we tap 120 acres of Sugarbush, with approx 1,000 taps on pipeline, and a demonstration  bush with buckets and spiles …for you to dip your finger in and taste the sweet sap ( about 1.5-2% sugar content)

with full maple menu…and a taste of “tree juice” at 2 oclock in the sugarbush….705-286-3202

We’re excited to welcome you to the new Crag Gym at Medeba. It’s set up with over 50 climbs, 5 auto-belays and many more top-rope routes. Please come join us with your friends and family for some great climbing.

Introductory Cost*:
Individual = $10/evening (harness and helmet rental included)
Family = $10 for the first two climbers and $5 for the third climber onward (Family of 3 = $25, 4 = $30)
*Introductory pricing is in recognition that the bouldering area is not yet complete.

Important Information:
-Rock climbing shoes or clean/indoor running shoes are recommended. If you have neither available you’re welcome to climb in socks.
-Kids 3-6yrs will be able to climb on our kids wall which features several shorter routes to help them build confidence.
-If you are using Medeba’s helmets and harnesses we will be asking participants to share with others so it’s a great idea to bring your own gear if you have it.
-If you’re climbing without kids you may find the second half of the evening a bit quieter.
-Our viewing ledge and Canyon Lounge will be available for spectators and to relax between climbs (the lounge has foosball and pingpong tables).

Hope to see you out!
