7 Fun Winter Activities

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Point Park chapter.

 

Skiing

One of the most typical Winter activities is skiing. Those who have a knack for it seem to really love it! Flying down mountains at intense speeds is a great activity to wear you out on a wintery day. It’s a great way to get in a workout without even realizing. Skiing is also a good winter sport for beginners to try, just be sure to listen to the instructor!

 

Drinking Hot Chocolate

After a long, cold winter day, a great way to warm up and relax is to drink hot chocolate! Hot chocolate comes in a variety of flavors and a great Winter activity is to try them all!

 

Ice Skating

Another classic Winter activity is ice skating. Ice skating rinks are a great place to mingle with others and to get some exercise! Ice skating rinks often have very pretty views, so while burning off the hot chocolate calories you can experience a delightful snowy scene or beautiful Christmas tree!

 

Playing in the Snow

This is actually a series of different activities. Playing in the snow can range from building snowmen, to instigating snowball fights, to sled riding down hills, or to just having a blast with your dog! The important part is to take the time to enjoy and play in the Winter wonderland happening right outside your door.

 

Watching

Sometimes life is so busy it is hard to remember that taking a second to realize what is going on around us is important. On blissful, snowy days it is important to take a second to watch the glistening snow filling our surroundings; simply because you may regret that you didn’t once spring rolls around.

 

Snowmobiling

Snowmobiling is a great face paced adventure to experience during the winter! Riding around on a vehicle that is made just for large amounts of snow is perfect for the winter season. The fast speeds will get your heart pumping and make you wish that winter would never end!

 

Trying out the Winter Beer selection

While it is important to warm up with hot chocolate, another fun activity is to party on with the Winter beer selections. Beer companies come up with a variety of different Winter flavors of beer to get you and your friends enjoying the season of Winter and wishing it would never end!
