Colder weather and shorter days in Metro Vancouver doesn’t have to stop you from enjoying outdoor fitness! Here are seven fun activities to help you make the most out of this winter season.
Snowshoeing
While the snowfalls may be few and far between in the city, as your venture up the mountains, it’s a different story. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced snowshoer, this activity allows you to go at your own pace, and fully embrace and take in the beauty that surrounds you.
Running
If you’ve been casually along the seawall recently, it’s probably clear that running, even in the colder months, is still very much happening. Looking for some running motivation? There are plenty of running groups all throughout the city to provide that community feel.
Cycling
Maybe not for snowy days, but for most of the winter, biking is still completely feasible and enjoyable, whether you’re riding your own bike, or hopping on a rental for the day.
Skiing / Snowboarding
Of course, the classic sport that comes to mind when thinking of winter activities. Whether it’s a local mountain, or you’re traveling up to Whistler, there’s nothing quite like the rush of skiing or snowboarding down the scenic mountains surrounding Vancouver.
Walking / Hiking
Those summertime strolls are replaced by brisk winter walks with an optional latte in hand at this time of year. From the seawall to local hikes, there are so many ways to enjoy an outdoor walk that can match the intensity you’re looking for.
Skating
The perfect weekend afternoon activity to help you embrace these cooler months, and the best part? You don’t have to be a professional figure skater or hockey player to take part in skating.
Sledding / Tubing
For those snowy days down in the city, or all winter long up in the mountains. If you’re searching for a family-friendly activity that is thrilling to both kids and adults, sledding and tubing is for you.
