Ski Nova Scotia, Canada

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.
