They’ll have you discover what it means to go down a hill on a yooner in their own words and pictures right here!

Cost: $50 to rent your yooner for your lift ticket.
Still rather an unknown glide sport in Quebec, ski joering is practised on alpine skis as you’re being pulled by a horse. In the Townships, the farm Ski Joering Stukely-Sud offers the activity in two formats: the first being a horse pulled forest outing, and the second, a skill-testing course that will challenge you with its obstacles, small jumps and tight turns. For a sneak a peek, you can view some pictures and watch the capsule describing our visit to Ski Joering Stukely-Sud in the winter of 2019.
Duration: 1 hour
Cost: $25/person
On a kicksled, all you need to do is yourself give a few push kicks to start gliding on the snow or ice. You can rent a kicksled by going to Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook and enjoy a ride on the trails!
Cost: $12,50 per hour
