Thrill-seeking Winter Sports and Activities for Families to Enjoy
Winter time is a great time to get cosy indoors, snuggling up on the sofa for movie nights or playing family games in front of the fireplace. Don’t spend all your winter days at home though – there’s plenty of adventurous fun to be had during this season too with winter sports and other activities for families to enjoy together. Let’s have a look at some of them!
- Indoor Skiing and Snowboarding
Skiing and snowboarding are both really fun winter sports but here in the UK there’s rarely a chance to do it outdoors, unless you head up North to Scotland to visit a resort there. Luckily, there are plenty of indoor skiing and snowboarding options if you want to hit the slopes and the best thing about these is that they’re available all year round and in all weathers. This means you can keep your skills fresh and practise any time of the year. The equipment is usually included in each session and you can usually rent appropriate clothing too.
- Sledging
Sledging is the perfect winter activity for children of all ages (and grown-ups too)! All you need is some snow, a sledge and a bit of a hill. The higher the hill, the more speed and thrill of course! Smaller hills are perfect for younger children while older children will love the bigger hills. For an extra exciting experience, consider staying at a Ski In Ski Out Big Sky resort, where the fun continues right from your doorstep. Good winter outdoor clothing and helmets are recommended!
- Ice Skating
If you have decent balance, then ice skating is a great winter activity. The good thing about ice skating is that you don’t usually have to wait for snow as there are ice rinks available both indoors and outdoors in many cities across the country. Always wear a helmet and learn basic ice skating safety before stepping onto the ice.
- Winter Hiking
Last on this list is winter hiking. Winter is a beautiful season and a wonderful time to enjoy the outdoors. When the weather is decent, head out on a family winter hike or a winter walk and enjoy the gorgeous scenery with the bright winter sun and the sparkly, frosty ground.
