Elliot Lake Ski Racers
The Elliot Lake Ski Racers are based out of Mt. Dufour Ski Area and strive to develop strong, confident racers that compete in various events throughout the season. The club helps train kids and youth in different age groups. They also host ski events throughout the year.
Cross Country Skiing
Cross-country skiing is a wonderfully safe and healthy way for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the winter season and the stunning landscapes of Elliot Lake and the region.
The Bob Stirling Cross Country Ski and Biking Trail offers loops from two to 20 kilometres in length (1/2 to 12 miles) which offer excellent terrain for novices right up to experts, with rest and warming stations located along the trail. The trail follows the south shore of Elliot Lake through 300-year-old hemlock stands and smaller lakes to loop back to the plowed parking lot adjacent to Spine Beach. The newest sixth loop starts at Glenden Fitness Park.
Loop 5 is ungroomed and is designed for intermediate skiers looking to upgrade their skills.
For the more daring, there are many back-country trails along the shores of frozen lakes that can be enjoyed.
