As the days grow shorter and the temperature gets colder, many people might find themselves
feeling cooped-up inside their home. This is common during winter because many things like the
cold and snow detract people away from going outside and doing fun things. However, winter
offers a unique charm that can be enjoyed to the fullest. There are many things to do in the
wintertime besides staying indoors.
Snowshoeing
In the winter, nature seems even more beautiful than ever with the snow covering the tops
of the trees, and there is no better way to enjoy and explore it than snowshoeing. Head to
Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, the Cottonwood Canyons or even just right here in Kaysville to
experience the beautiful outdoors in the winter. The silence is serene, and the only noises are the
crunch of the snow beneath your feet. If any of this sounds like something you would enjoy,
consider renting or buying snowshoes at a local sporting goods store.
Ice Skating
As one of the most iconic winter activities, ice skating is a perfect wintertime activity for
any ages. Whether you are gliding gracefully across a frozen lake or just learning how to ice
skate at your local ice rink, the fun of ice skating is unparalleled. Bundle up in your warmest gear
and skate the night away with friends and family if you feel too cramped up in your own home
during wintertime.
Cabin Getaway
During winter, the inside of your own home may be getting repetitive and boring. If so,
take a getaway and rent a cabin and stay a few nights with friends or family. Being one of the
few activities that you would have to spend money, this may not be your first choice of activity.
But if you can save the money, it is well worth it. Sip on hot chocolate, relax, play a board game,
sleep, or go outside in the woods. Any of this would be better than being stuck at home. It is a
perfect way to unwind and reconnect with friends and family, all away from your home.
Sledding
Reignite your inner child by going sledding. Most people have at least tried sledding and
have never forgotten it. Being as simple as can be, some people may think it is childish or not as
fun as other winter activities, but it can be just as fun as other activities at a fraction of the price.
Dress warm, find the best hill around, grab a sled, and let gravity work its magic. The rush of
wind in your face and the laughter of friends or family will make you forget about the cold.
Wildlife Watching
During the winter, many exotic and different animals come out. It makes winter a
fantastic time to watch for wildlife if you are interested in that. Many animals, from deer to
eagles, are more visible in the snow-covered landscape. Bundle up and head to the nearest local
wildlife park or go up in the mountains around Kaysville and look for yourself, you will not be
disappointed.
Skiing and Snowboarding
The only other activity that requires you to spend lots of money, is skiing and
snowboarding. These two sports are staples of winter fun and are also staples of being the most
expensive winter activity. Nevertheless, skiing and snowboarding are endless fun and are even
fun while you are still learning how. Kaysville is situated perfectly for skiers and snowboarders.
We have seven well-sized ski resorts all within a two-hour drive, with the closest being
Snowbasin. Lots of people would agree that skiing or snowboarding is their favorite winter
activity, and it shows. A lot of students at Davis High do one or the other.
Winter Photography
Embrace the unique beauty and picture opportunity that winter brings. Capture the
sparkling icicle, the contrast of animals against the snow, and nature shots that do not look like
real life. Winter is a perfect time for veteran and amateur photographers alike because of the
unique pictures that can be taken during wintertime. During the summer, pictures can get bland
and overdone. But during winter, a lot of the pictures seem completely different to their summer
counterparts. This gives photographers a better opportunity to photograph the beautiful scenery
of winter.
Winter Festivals
Many cities around the world host beautiful winter festivals, complete with holiday
markets, ice sculptures, and warm food and beverages. Popular festivals along the Wasatch Front
include the Luminaria in Thanksgiving Point, and the Winter Wonderland Festival in Draper.
These can be showcases for the fun of Christmas season and the wintertime seasons. Explore
these festive events, sample unique treats, and shop with friends and family.
Snowball fights
Gather your friends and family for a classic snowball fight. Create elaborate forts and
take cover! Though this seems like an obvious answer, when you get into it, it never gets boring
using strategies to win the fight. Snowball fights are a fantastic way to exercise, bond, indulge in
friendly competition, and just have an all-around good time.
Stargazing
Clear winter skies offer some of the best stargazing opportunities. Bundle up, bring a
telescope or binoculars, and head to a dark and remote location. Gaze at constellations, planets,
and shooting stars. Although this is an activity that can be done almost all times of the year,
something about wintertime makes it seem like the sky is so full of stars. If you are not careful,
you could get sucked in and watch the stars for quite some time.
In conclusion, the winter season is full of wonder and joy, and there is a wide range of
activities to enjoy. From embracing the gorgeous views of nature and wildlife, to the excitement
