Skiing and snowboarding are popular activities in Steamboat Springs during the winter, but some individuals may prefer to spend their snowy days doing something else. Thankfully, there are many things to do in Colorado besides skiing. Learn more about fun activities you and your family can participate in when the temperature dips.
Have Fun in the Snow
Whether you would prefer to hit the slopes on sleds or tubes, fish at Pearl Lake State Park or traverse snowy trails on fatbikes, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the snow in Colorado besides skiing. Some other fun activities to consider include:
- Hiking
- Snowshoeing
- Visiting hot springs
- Dog sledding
You may also be interested in cross-country skiing, which involves traveling over flat or slightly hilly trails instead of flying down steep slopes. Even non-skiers can enjoy this outing. Otherwise, there is nothing better than the classic activities of building snowmen and snow forts and having epic snowball fights outside.
Explore the Area
When you’re in Colorado, avoid cabin fever by touring the area. One option is to drive to see popular sights or eat at tasty restaurants, but you can also travel using less conventional methods. Some popular guided tours include:
- Riding horses
- Driving a snowmobile
- Enjoying a hot air balloon ride
- Dog Sledding
With these activities, you can see exciting winter sights that you would otherwise never experience. Booking these tours may be especially helpful when planning winter family vacations for non-skiers.
