Winter Sports - Try Something New!
If skiing, skating and snowboarding are not exciting enough for you, why don’t you have a go with something else? Do dog sledding, snow biking or ice hiking sound better?
You might say that winter is almost finished. Well, the winter season is hitting its peak in Canada. Period between March and May is the best time to enjoy snow and ice as the weather is much milder then.

Snow Biking is for all who have mastered skiing and snowboarding and are looking for an activity with more adrenalin. Snow biking gives endless possibilities. Even if your coordination demands some training, it’s not a problem as you can come down the hill with your own peace. Snow biking, as its name suggests, is a combination of skiing and biking. Of course instead of tyres your bike has got skis. You need to wear special ski boots and snow blades. The bike is very light. The whole activity is very similar to skiing (you do exactly the same moves to turn or stop).
Dog Sledding is definitely for all those who like both winter sports and dogs. It’s an unforgettable experience: you are pulled by the dogs and can admire beautiful landscape. If you decide to do the dog sledding, you’ll notice that the dogs are really skinny. They are Alaskan huskies not Siberian huskies (who are bred to be fast, agile and smart). You’ll be sitting with a partner on a sled. Don’t be afraid of getting cold as you’ll have a few blankets to keep you warm. The dogs are very excited before taking off - they bark like crazy! Bu they stop as soon as they start running. And the only thing you will hear then is the sled swooshing across the snow.
