Skiing is what makes winter such a wonderful time for most of us, but it isn't the only way to enjoy the outdoors during the season.

Not to try to stereotype anyone, but Canada does know a little something about winter, being all the way up there in the North. Having said that, they also seem to know how to make a good time our of it, specifically Ontario.

Below is a piece about the Provincial Parks of Ontario being open and ready to go for some winter fun with various activities. If you are a local or if you are visiting our sister country to the North, take a look at what they have to offer. Yes, you may have to get off your skis for a day, but it might be fun to do something a little different.

Also, if the photo in the article is accurate, the girls are cute, too. Bonus!
