Tree skiing powder snow in central Ontario?

The West Wind Highlands Ski Touring Association (WWHSTA) is a registered not-for-profit association formed in 2020 to advocate for and support the development of self-propelled winter backcountry touring opportunities in Muskoka, the Almaquin Highlands, Haliburton and surrounding areas.
Our group embraces the enjoyment of the deep snowpack brought to our region by the west winds off Georgian Bay. The region’s wonderful open hardwood forests and the undulating topography offers a beautiful canvas for exploration and, every now and then, a few turns of pure joy.
If you enjoy winter in Ontario on AT gear, telemark skis, a snowboard or nordic backcountry gear, WWHSTA is a group that will introduce you to a new community, new areas, shared information and learning opportunities.
Gord Baker and Jeff Edwards are long-time tele skiers and WWHSTA board members. They will be on hand to share information about equipment, locations and how to get involved with WWHSTA.
The 2021 season unfortunately closes for Ski Telemark as Mt. St. Louis Moonstone is closed tomorrow, March 26th!
The three FREE-HEEL Fridays we did get were magical. Being on snow was dreamy and uplifting!
We extend our special thanks to Robert & Sarah Huter, Andre Huter & Jim Morris of Mt. St. Louis Moonstone Resort for the MOST AWESOME of EXPERIENCES!!!
The following video shows the Covid-19 Protocols in place at MSLM in December 2020.
A Fellow Free-Heeler took action, created this video clip to bring awareness and attention to the HUGE investment and efforts taken to protect and serve the snowsport public to keep us out on snow!!!
