Here are a few of our favourite winter activities in, or near, Angus.

Skiing, Sliding, Boarding
Located only 18 minutes away, Snow Valley Resort is a popular spot where you and the family can spend the day skiing, snowboarding, or tubing. Named the “Best Ontario Hill for kids”, Snow Valley has runs for all skill levels. Your furry friends are also welcomes to trek through the winding 17km of trails on site.
