Explore the Northumberland Shore in Winter

This is the season to head for the hills. Ski Wentworth has everything a snow lover could ask for. Skiing, board or tubing – there are multiple lifts, rentals and repairs, terrain parks, half pipe, night lights, cross country trails, and 815 vertical feet of fun.

The Wentworth Valley offers up 170 km of groomed trails for snowmobiling and along with accommodation choice that welcomes groups, families, couples and individuals who love the sport.

Snowshoeing in the numerous provincial parks and along our maintained trails is another great way to enjoy the region. You can tackle the easy to moderate trails of Beaver Mountain for instance or head out along restored railway beds.

Winter is a great time to indulge great dining, theatre, music, and wine. Check out the winter season of contemporary and classic productions at Theatre Antigonish. Join in a mid-winter ceilidh at a toasty warm, welcoming pub. Experience the finest cuisine Nova Scotia's master chefs have to offer at Sugar Moon's Chef Night Series. Head to Nova Scotia's venerable Jost Vineyards who have been producing some of the best ice wine in the country, as they celebrate the winter harvest with tastings, pruning demonstrations, and special dinner events.
