To ski in Nova Scotia is to ski with plenty of natural beauty. Nova Scotia is a peninsula at the far eastern end of Canada with dramatic Atlantic shores, maritime
atmosphere, and opportunities for skiing, boarding, cross country
skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding and tobogganing.
The
seaport and capital city of Halifax has plenty to fascinate with
its mix of old and new and taverns where you can kick your heels
up to Scottish and Celtic music. The Cabot Trail
is a scenic ocean highway leading into Cape Breton Highlands
National Park. If you need to relax Nova Scotia also
has plenty of relaxing spas and resorts.
