Albertans spend a good part of the year in snow and they embrace it to the fullest with exhilarating outdoor activities and events. Slice through fresh powder as you float down a mountainside in the Canadian Rockies. Snowshoe through a sun-dappled forest. Take a guided walk in a canyon luminous with frozen waterfalls. Have a drink at an ice bar surrounded by marvellous ice sculptures. Whether you are mushing a dogsled team across a frozen lake, enjoying some of the best skiing and snowboarding on the planet or just relaxing and watching the snow fall from your cozy cabin, winter is wondrous in Alberta.
