Winter Tourism Spotlight Our nickname is Winter-peg for a reason; there are plenty of ways to embrace the season both indoors and outdoors that will give you proper bragging rights and a memorable winter experience. Layer up, sip some hot chocolate and enjoy 15 of our favourite things to do in winter: 1. Work on your "snow-vasana" at the Fire & Ice Festival by practicing yoga on a frozen lake, followed by crafts, s'mores, and wild bush tea at FortWhyte Alive (DATE TBA) 2. Two Canadian passions collide with the invention of "Croki-curl" set up at The Forks, which blends the popular tabletop game of crokinole with curling. Rocks are available for use from The Forks Market free of charge; all you need are some friends to play with and good aim. 3. Pedal around wintry roads and trails with ease by renting a fat bike from White Pine Bicycle Co. at The Forks. 4. Skate along the Red River Mutual Trail, one of the world's longest skating trails (rent skates inside The Forks Market). Test out your curling skills on one of the sheets set up on the river or play a game of hockey. Entry onto the trail is located at The Forks Historic Port. 5. Bring a fully charged cell phone so you can stop for photo ops at the Warming Huts dotting the Red River Mutual Trail. These stunning facades have been built by some of the world's best design and architecture firms, with an international competition held each year for submissions. 6. Located at The Forks, Arctic Glacier Winter Park features 1.2 kilometres of skating trails, a toboggan run and beautifully lit archways and trees if you check it out at night.
