SKI ESSENTIALS
LAYER UP There are three key layers to consider before hitting the slopes — base, mid and outer. Start with a base layer
(think long johns) and then a mid layer of warm, breathable fabric, ideally fleece or wool, to keep you cozy. Add the outer layer with ski pants and a ski jacket to protect you from the wind and increase insulation. Now you’re nearly ready to go!
FALCON RIDGE SKI SLOPES FALCON LAKE, MB
This lovable little ski resort is tucked away in the boreal forest of Whiteshell Provincial Park and on the shores of beautiful Falcon Lake. Bring your downhill skis or snowboard, or rent from the resort, to enjoy this hidden gem in eastern Manitoba. Strap on your cross-country skis or bring your winter fat bike to enjoy trails winding throughout the park. Inside the chalet, you can watch your friends and family fly down the slopes through the wall-to-wall windows while you cozy up by the stone fireplace with a steaming mug of coffee or tea. Good food, good friends, ping pong, crokinole and live music will make your skiing or snowboarding weekend one you won't soon forget. www.falconridgeski.com
