In winter, water in the form of snow and ice enables winter activities such as skiing, cycling, snow walking, and skating in snowy surroundings, even on frozen lakes.
By following the road, you become its prisoner;
only the trackless snow offers true freedom.
A Finnish poem by Aaro Hellaakoski
Ski hiking or winter hiking involves traveling on ungroomed trails using suitable gear such as forest skis, sliding snowshoes, or traditional snowshoes. Ski hiking is fun, suitable for all levels of skills or fitness. Just choose where you want to go.
A trip can be from couple hours to couple days. Nature provides surprises for travellers.

Winter nights are long and beautiful. How about sleeping in a quinzhee? I can teach how to make one and sleep there.
Cozy place to sleep and dine after snow hiking.
