3 Fun Winter Activities Everyone Should Try

If you live in a place where snow is inevitable in the winter, then you’ve likely participated in many of the activities we’ve listed below. If you haven’t, then it’s time to give them a try! These winter activities are something that every person should try at least once in their lifetime. Don’t just take my word for it. Go out and see how fun it is for yourself!

1. Sledding

Have you ever felt the rush of freezing air in your face as you race down a snowy hill? No? Then it’s time to try! Pick up some plastic discs, sleds, or inner tubes at Wal-Mart or a local sports store. Then go on a drive and find a good snow-covered hill to test them out on. If you’re worried about stopping at the end, build up a pile of soft snow to help stop you when you get to the bottom of the hill. There’s nothing like the rush of speeding down a slippery slope and tumbling into a pile of fluffy snow.

2. Build a Snowman

Do you wanna build a snowman? Well, if you’ve never tried this, then find a good place with lots of snow this year to try it out. This is a great family activity. Each person can build their own snowman, or you can make it a collaborative effort to build the largest snowman ever! Even if you just make it out to your front lawn, you’ll be glad that you did it.

3. Cross-country Skiing

Whether you want to try a new winter workout, or simply just try something you’ve never done before, cross-country skiing is the way to go. It’s a great activity for beginners who have never been skiing or snowboarding before. Just make sure you dress in layers, because you will feel the workout and won’t want to be trapped under one hot layer.
