I have a bunch of legal manuals type stuff so I'll look through them, I'll also get some phone numbers together and try to track down people to get some answers.

Well to be honest I didn't expect this kind of question but here goes:
Ontario Parks and Rec & National Parks and Rec really want people to stay on designated trails. In fact they're sticklers about it, they'd likely give you a warning though. Really the easiest thing that you can do is simply check with the individual ski resort before you do it. Chances are that they won't let you go down a closed trail for some simple reasons:
1) It may be unsafe
2) If you go down a closed trail and hurt yourself you'll be on the hook. Try and explain why you went down a closed trail to the judge and see how far it'll get you.

They won't throw you in jail btw, the most that a private ski resort can do is either turf you off their property or call the police to do it for them. The cops would likely hold you and give you a stern talking to and call it a day. About the only way that you'd end up in jail is if you were endagering other peoples lives, or stopping them from enjoying the services provided by the ski resort, that would get you charged with mischief. If convicted you'd see 10 000$ fine with 6 months, that's max btw.

Hope that helped.
