Sometimes postcard Toronto doesn’t look like Toronto.
WHERE: High Park
WHEN: Monday, February 2, 4:30 p.m.
WHAT: If you have a toboggan, a snowboard, or cross-country skis, snow days are the best days. Yesterday, hardy winter lovers took to High Park and made the most of some bad weather. Skiers, boarders, and general gliding enthusiasts claimed the big hill by Grenadier Pond, while cross-country skiers made their way around the south part of the pond. It may not have had the danger of the old High Park ski jump , or the quiet rebellion of skating on Grenadier Pond , but it was fun all the same.
