Dog Sledding
I finally had the opportunity to check off one of my dream bucket list items in Northeastern Ontario: DOG SLEDDING! A true northern Canadian adventure! What an incredible experience it was to enjoy the ride and lead the pack. Not only am I hooked, but now I want a husky!
Snowshoeing
My first experience snowshoeing Porcupine Ski Runners was a success! The trails which are designed specifically for snowshoeing are literally the nicest I have ever seen! We enjoyed our 3.7km Owl Trail which is rated the most difficult. I can’t wait to try the cross-country skiing trails next…the night lit ski trails are calling my name.
Winter Carnival
Had a great time at the South Porcuine Winter Carnival fireworks! I didn’t expect to be cooking supper on an open fire in the middle of winter with Environment Canada’s ‘Extreme Cold’ weather warning in effect, but to my surprise it was a success! 
Winter Bush Camp Fires
I had the opportunity to go snow shoeing out in the Boreal bush and have a winter camp fire (my first time) with s’mores and all! I’m learning to do what the locals do up here in the north!
There is one other winter activity I have experienced recently which I will be sharing with you shortly! Can you guess what it is?
Jessica,
I want a husky too! Looks fun.

I know! I want one so bad and don’t know what to do about it…as a traveler, it is hard to imagine settling down so to speak with a more consistent routine.

Awesome. I was almost starting to scowl at snow, as I am done with layering and eager to enjoy the spring but this post has brought back my love for snow ❤ Great one.

Great, it’s lovely when we find ways to embrace our reality! I’m on a mission to see the Northern Lights before I leave, but the weather has not been cooperating.
