Actoh North on Skis Page GEORGETOWN HERALD THURSDAY DEC Ideal Cross Country Skiing Terrain To Be Found on Georgetowns Outskirts Remaining Games in Tyke Hockey Schedule Lows by Peter Arris fa the Toronto Bruce IYinnhi Footnotes Now hat winter is approaching I am looking forward to another season of crosscountry skiing Skiing for short This is becoming more and more popular among Bruce Trailer and it is now one the fastest growing winter sports not only in Canada but around the World skiing is more or less the original way of skiing as invented thousands of years ago in Scand inavia in contrast to Alpine or downhill skiing which is a later development and has become a very expensive rather dangerous thrilling sport limited however to specially prepared areas Per I like both types of skiing but I simply could not afford the tune and money to do as much Alpine as I do skiing Ontario we just don have anything like the Alps for Alpine skiing But where do you go for skiing Is the first thing people ask me Well anywhere there is snow unspoiled by salt traffic no trespassing signs etc That leaves much of Metro Toronto with Its parks ravines and even area if only by the numerous tracks in the snow Certain landmarks will have more meaning now such as the Bell Telephone Trunk Line This might become a life saver easily visible trough the forest and leading you the Country Im if you OWN TRACKS It is difficult to get lost because you can always go bock by Town Trio Takes Tourney Trophy in Master Bantam possible to move crosscountry and to reach previously inaccessible areas such as swamps and mar shes creeks and even islands and lakes The freedom Is for me the neatest advantage of skiing but that is not all You soon realize that it is as thrilling as downhill skiing as peaceful and invigorating as hiking or ing and a lot more ecologically sound than any motorized sport such as Ask it does not take much practice for a fit person to become a proficient XC skier IDLALLY SUITED Off own Bruce Trail offers one of he greatest challenges to ex or new XC skiers even though it was not made with skiers in mind TheTorontoSection of the Trail Just north of Highway cuts right through one of my favourite winter playgrounds As you can see on the map this area covers over 30 square miles in Nassagaweya and Townships in the northern half of County Easy accessibility makes this area ideally suited for skiers if common sense Is used What makes this area so attractive as well is the fact that only one concession road the Sixth line runs straight through this large block of land Furthermore a good portion is in County Forest Tracts and these are marked on Ihc map or Conservation Authority and skiers can use these lands XC skiing is also possible along roost of the Bruce Trail shown on the map There is a trail through the Halton County Forest which is also shown on the map and Ihls Is marked with rectangular markers of brown with two vertical yellow stripes Unfortunately there are several quarries operating here and the threat of subdivision may soon start to play a rote id reducing this area but the Halton Region Conservation Authority has large holdings In this area over which the Bruce Trail passes and we now have our own shelter in this area on land owned by Consolidated Sand Gravel Co dose to the Other at tractions include Hilton falls the beaver pond and the Country Inn for refreshments SKI HIKE The Trail through County Forest and the Bruce Trad are separated by several small branches of the Creek and it is possible to make a circular trip back to your car in winter We particularly recommend the line Allowance over the beaver pond and north to the County Forest You don have to be an athlete to enjoy XC skiing here because even a novice can safely join a ski party as long as he or she fa prepared to take the easy way when the going gets a oft rough Sometimes this may mean sitting down before you fall down I need a leather seat in my pants or steep slope You should try one of the sU hikes in our present program of hikes Getting lost or getting out is not much of a problem either because visibility through a hardwood forest is much better in winter while snow makes even the rockiest forest Door as smooth and soft as a carpi And when the winter sun Is shining at low angle It is easy to hi reasonably straight in whatever direction you may desire in case you do lose the trail Remember that around noon the sun is south direction l and by In the west Just looking at wilt keep you going straight SENSES ALEKT Much as I enjoy the company of people there Is nothing like being alone in a winter wonderland with all the senses alert to the sounds of nature If it is company you seek It would be better to stick to downhill skiing you can fed more lonely on a busy skislope than on a quiet trail Just as you can fed mors lonely on Yonge Street than on be Bruce Trail But to be alone on skis in a relatively remote area like this give me a sensation of freedom I have never exper fenced anywhere das or at any other of my Ufa Not even hating when I was a boy on the from lakes and canals of my native Holland can compare with he glorious freedom of a Canadiar course with you plus matches and some strong cord to repair a broken pole or bindings If you are about to era into a tree or a rock just sit down On your first attempts test your strength and don I overdo it Remember have to get back to your storting point No need o carry any liquids in winter and a little food is easily Its own refreshments at times in the form of sweet apple Juice from the many wild apple trees the area One thing to guard against is overheating because skiing stimulates exercise In such a subtle way that you are not aware of your output of energy until you fed ft ALLEYWAYS PEE WEES Sheila has the high girls average with an 86 The high boy is Hatcher with Red Barons took five points from Pee Wee
