Just east of the current Laurentian Ski Club, a set of snow shoe trails snakes their way east then north to the pipeline, completing the loop back to the chalet. The hike was only about 40 minutes with Chris Beatty leading the way.It was a clear night with a full moon. Perfect for hiking through the forest without the aid of headlamps. This was an easy relaxing walk.
About half way through the hike we came across the foundation from the old ski jump that was built sometime in the 30's. It seems that ski jumping, has been part of North Bay's winter activities for decades.The cement footings for the ski jump can still be found buried in the snow just off the trail.
