The colder weather is starting to set in, but that doesn't mean you have to cease all outdoor activities. There are still plenty of fun things to do outside! Here are a few ways you can keep enjoying the great outdoors this winter.

Ski or snowboard at Colorado’s famous resorts

A winter wonderland awaits you at the ski resort! There’s nothing quite like flying down the slopes on your skis or snowboard, surrounded by sparkling snow. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, you can find a trail for you at one of Colorado’s many spectacular ski resorts. And what could be better than sipping hot cocoa in the lodge after a long day out on the slopes? Dust off your gear and head to the ski resort for an unforgettable day in the snow.

Ice skate at your local rink

Winter is the perfect time to lace up your skates and hit the ice. Ice skating is a great way to get active, even when the weather outside is frigid. If you're new to skating, don't worry—it's easy to learn with a little practice. Before you know it, you'll be carving turns and spinning like a pro. So why not lace up your skates and enjoy some winter fun at your local ice rink?

Take a winter hike in a nearby park

There's no need to let the low temperatures keep you from soaking up Colorado’s fresh air and sunshine. Bundling up and heading out for a hike is a great way to keep enjoying the great outdoors this winter. And with snow-covered trees and sparkling frost, such a hike can be absolutely breathtaking. There are plenty of picturesque Colorado trails for hikers of every experience level to tackle. Grab your hat and gloves, and hit the trail. You'll be glad you did.

Go sledding with friends and family

Few things are as fun as a day spent sledding with friends and family. There's nothing like careening down a hill at top speed with the wind whipping through your hair. And when you reach the bottom, you can go back up the hill and do it all over again. Best of all, sledding is a great way to get some exercise and fresh air, even in the middle of winter. So round up some friends, grab your sleds, and head for the nearest hill. A few hours of sledding are sure to put a smile on your face.
