Although all the scenic routes are great in the summer, they suck in the winter. As a former job I worked at Toronto airport and as I said commuted these roads daily. They are wonderful, however I like to sleep in as much as possible so I was very adamant on keeping track of which roads took more time. I found the 400 series of highways consistently faster as you had the ability to get around ma & pa travelling north to the cottage. Most people will tell you to avoid toronto if at all possible and they are correct. They panic in the rain never mind the snow, but if you can get through the city and up the 400 I still would suggest it. As suggested keep your radio on and have a back-up plan no matter which way you come. Freezing rain here today but still a great base at Blue. Calling for 4-5" Wednesday so not really powder but still fun
