Winter Activities

Tobogganing, ice skating, cross-country (skate) skiing and snow shoeing!

Access requires sign in through the golf shop upon arrival.

Cross-Country (Skate) Skiing

With access to miles of hiking trails and golf cart paths, cross-country skiing at Brunello is available during the winter months.

Please note that trail grooming provided by Scotia XC and Cross Country Nova Scotia at Brunello is set up for skate skiing only and is not groomed with classic tracks. While Brunello Day Pass holders are welcome to skate or classic ski where conditions allow, dedicated classic tracks are not set on the main groomed loops.

Brunello Day Pass holders have access to skiing on our groomed trails on the natural snow loop of golf course cart paths, as well as artificial snowmaking and night skiing on the Brunello Range. The cart paths are not wide enough to set separate classic tracks; however, if snow depth permits, a classic track may occasionally be set on the driving range.

The Brunello Range is suitable for beginners. The Natural Snow Loop is more advanced due to steep hills and turns. The Natural Snow Loop is included with a Scotia XC membership, and if members are interested in accessing the artificial snowmaking area, please contact the club directly to add the Brunello Range Pass option.

You must remain on the groomed trails at all times. Staff regularly monitor the trails and will approach anyone skiing off-trail. Only skiing (no walking or snowshoeing) is permitted on the Brunello Range and Natural Snow Loop.

Ice Skating

Our tennis courts are great for a casual skate with friends or family. Our turf crew double as snow and ice maintenance crew in the winter. When the weather cooperates with their efforts the courts can be a fun and relaxing space to get some outdoor winter activity in! *We do not permit hockey sticks or pucks to be used on the court but when the ice is thick enough the pond on Hole #4 is often the spot for a little pond hockey action!
