Summit Vodka comes from the foothills of the Canadian Rockies and uses only the best that Canada has to offer. Made with 100% winter wheat and distilled 5 times to deliver exceptional smoothness it is no wonder Summit Vodka was awarded 93 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2020.
It is arguably the best time in modern history to explore the island of Montreal. As we enter the last month of winter (yay), snowshoeing might be an activity on your to-do list.
It’s inexpensive, fun, a great workout, and a perfect way to soak up the sights and sounds of Montreal.
Because Montreal has a plethora of urban parks, there are plenty of trails for you to wander around this winter. Dig that old pair of snowshoes out of the closet or buy a pair at a sports shop — here are the best trails around Montreal to snowshoe.
