| Winter Sports Helmets |
Safety for kids participating in winter sports, whether they are skiing, skating, snowboarding, or snowmobiling should involve a helmet.
Parents and kids should check out the Lids on Kids website to familiarize the suggested
7 tips for on-slope behavior and learn about the helmets for skiers and other winter sports. See more winter
safety tips for driving in the snow belt areas of Ontario. Intrawest has just initiated mandatory
Helmets at all of their ski resorts. Check road conditions and weather before heading north.

Outdoors in Ontario For Kids
Ontario ski areas and Ontario ski resorts offer a great opportunity to get your children into downhill
skiing, x-country skiing, or snowboarding--and the
best part, parents will save on their outdoor skiing or snowboarding experience if the destination is involved with Ontario
SnowPass. Ontario outdoors in the winter is exhilarating and interesting for those who want to be active. Some of the best family experiences
can be enjoying a family getaway together, or just for the two of you to enjoy a romantic getaway. The new
family day in February will allow families to get out doors for a new winter long weekend.
More than Skiing
There is more than just skiing in Ontario's known ski destinations. One of the newest additions to the winter season is snowtubing (snow tubing),
a great family fun experience. See Ontario Snowtubing Getaways. Another sport is ice fishing, and
most winter resort destinations have access
to a frozen lake neary where kids can try out the sport, especially on Family Fishing Weekend in February. See Ice
fishing getaways. |
