Thanks for your help!!:) Unfortunately for you many times in downtown Toronto it is a green christmas....however, a short drive out of the City to the nearby countryside and there is often snow...the urban heat island and the proximity to the lake keeps Toronto warmer than areas to the north etc. |

I suggest highway 10 north of Orangeville as a spot where one can usually find a blizzard.
Skiing in the GTA is pretty pathetic...there is a place just west of Milton called Glen Eden and there is Mansfield or Horseshoe Valley (north of Barrie) or Blue Mountain in Collingwood. |

We bought the pews and some fittings from a church in Badjeros, the building was/is for sale, very nice but nowhere to put the donkey.

Re: Snow in Ontario
Thanks for the tip.
We have never skied or snowboarded before though so some small slopes would be ideal! :)

Yes, anwhere north and west of Orangeville or north of Barrie has a good chance of running into heavy snow at Christmas time.

Then Glen Eden/Kelso is easily reached and not busy on week days.
I need to move to BC where there are proper hills! |
