Baby, it’s cold outside. But that is no reason to hibernate! Don’t let a little cold weather keep you cooped up inside. Here are some fun ways you can take advantage of our snow, wide open spaces and cooler temperatures:

Cross-Country Skiing

Cross-country skiing is a great way to enjoy nature and stay fit. It is an activity for the whole family and it can be enjoyed wherever there is snow on the ground (although, groomed trails do make it easier). If you are looking for some tips to get started, contact CanoeSki Discovery Company in Saskatoon or Cross Country Saskatchewan.

Snowmobiling

Time to go for a rip, eh? Hop on a snowmobile and zip through the tranquil northern boreal forest, over hills in the Qu’Appelle Valley or through fields of soft powder. With 10,000 km of groomed snowmobile trails in the province, there is a place for everyone to explore. Visit the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association website, www.sasksnow.com, to find out more about this fun winter sport. 

Dog Sledding

Getting ready to hit the trail with a team of excited sled dogs is an amazing experience. Barking and jumping as the sled is prepared, their enthusiasm is infectious. Once they hear the command, “mush,” the noise turns into complete silence. Suddenly, these dogs are on a mission. Racing through the forest is what they live for, and you get to simply enjoy the ride. Take in the Canadian Challenge Sled Dog Race in Prince Albert to see the pros in action or try mushing for yourself with Sundogs Excursions at Anglin Lake.
