Thunder Bay - Extreme cold weather forced several ski areas in Thunder Bay to close on Sunday.
Environment Canada issued an extreme cold warning for northwestern Ontario earlier this weekend.
An Arctic air mass is causing wind chill effects, with wind chill values expected to drop to -40 C in some areas by Tuesday, and even into Wednesday.
Due to safety concerns and weather conditions, ski areas such as Loch Lomond and Mount Baldy have been closed.
However, Kamview Nordic Centre and Lappe Ski Centre remain open.
The centre advises skiers to dress warmly and ski during daylight hours at this time.
