About Highlands Nordic

There are trails for every ability level. The chalet is open for patrons to warm up, use the washrooms, or browse the retail area. However, people will not be able to consume food and drink inside the chalet. So be prepared to spend most of your time outside and to use your car as the home base (to get ready and store your bags etc.). We recommend that members bring water, snacks, and lunch. The cafe is NOT operational. Given the limited indoor space, we also recommend that members bring a small pack with extra food and dry clothes (socks, mitts, base layers) to ski/snowshoe with. Highlands offers rental packages (classic skis, skate skis, and snowshoes).

Highlands requires that people wear a mask indoors, and outdoors within 50 metres of the chalet, but masks can be taken off while on the trails.

Kolapore is a back country ski area. We do not recommend it for beginners. You must have your own equipment and be comfortable being out all day without access to any facilities. Note that they have had some issues with cars being broken into while parked there.
