Whether you’re up for a gentle glide through an old-growth forest, a heart-stopping downhill blast or a tour into the pristine backcountry wilds, Canada’s got your cross-country fix!

Considering a trip into Canada’s winter playground? Ensure you are thoroughly prepared before you head out – avalanches in avalanche terrain and quick-changing weather are just two of the challenges you might face.

Regardless of your skills and experience, follow these tips for a safe and enjoyable outing:

• Plan your trip and leave a Trip Plan.
  
• Check the weather and avalanche conditions in your area.
