Explore the Three Shores in Winter

Winter along Three Shores is the season of snow fun and romance, of nights out on the town and evenings in by the fireside. It’s when your eyes open to all kinds of art – from the abstract beauty of a frosty, frozen seascape, to the beauty of a perfectly carved line down a mountainside ski run, to a musical production in a historic theatre after an early dinner by the fire with a local bottle of wine to set the mellow mood for the evening. All of this defines the winter season on Three Shores.

We are graced with one of the province’s most popular ski hills, Ski Wentworth . You can enjoy a full slate of amenities and activities including night skiing, Nordic ski trails, tubing, half pipe parks, contests, lessons, rentals. Browse through our accommodations listings and book you and the gang in a chalet for a winter weekend where everyone is happy on these family-friendly ski hills.

Our moderate winter climate makes all kinds of outdoor fun possible and enjoyable. You’ll find we have enough fluffy snow and glistening ice for any kind of winter activity your heart desires, along with reasonable temperatures that allow you to get outside and enjoy yourself all day long. Take a hike on our winter trails with your camera in tow. You might nab a shot of an eagle enjoying a mid-winter feast near Shubenacadie, or capture a waterfall frozen in mid-flow near Guysborough. Our trail system is also ideally suited to snowshoeing and snowmobiling. For a combination of indoor and outdoor fun, join in the activities of the annual Ice Wine Festival at Jost Vineyards .

Our country inns, village pubs, theatres and concert halls create the ideal ambiance for winter romance getaways. Stay in a country inn and ask your host for tips on where the locals go for great live music. There are several live performance theatre venues across Three Shores ranging from the historic restored theatres like Bicentennial Theatre , Marigold Center in Truro, Antigonish’s Bauer Theatre to the cutting-edge Glasgow Square Theatre space , the only one of its kind in Eastern Canada.
