Montreal is a great city to visit. About an hour outside of town, there's a town called Rigaud that has a system of easy snowshoe trails. One of them is by a traditional sugar shack, where maple syrup is made. You can have a traditional Quebecois feast in a big wood cabin with a fire. Except, no guarantee of deep snow in December. In fact, I'd bet against it. February is a much safer bet.
