I believe the closest ones are those in Quebec, and those in Lake Placid.

Yup, no ramps in ontario sadly!

It's either Placid or Quebec city, whichever is easiest for you to make it to!

there aren't any nearer then Quebec and Placid.

Believe it or not, water ramps are not as popular as bowling alleys and tennis courts, so they only get built where there are a lot of skiers who need them for training. A lot of Freestyle skiers train in Quebec, and Placid had the Winter Olympics many years ago.

Ontario probably has more skiers then other provinces/states (Blue Mountain gets more visitors per year then most hills in Alberta and BC), but most skiers don't know what a water ramp is and would rather be bowling anyway.
