This month’s theme is the perfect mix of wintery weather and snow—and we’re not talking about a run-of-the-mill snowball fight. Whether it’s skiing, sledding, snowmobiling, or something else altogether, this month offers a variety of options for winter enthusiasts.

Here is a list of our top 10 snow activities to enjoy in February to make the most of this month. 

1. Snowboarding & Skiing

Ski resorts are at the height of their season now that the holiday season has passed. If you love the thrill of skiing or snowboarding, you can hit the slopes without breaking the bank. The cost for skiing and snowboarding varies by location, but some ski resorts charge as little as $60 per day. For those who prefer to stay on the mountain, many resorts offer lodging packages with full-service restaurants and activities. If you're a skier or snowboarder, it's a great time to get out there and get your adrenaline flowing! 

2. Sledding

If you love the thrill of sledding down a steep hill with friends, then February is the month to do it. Sledding is the perfect activity to get out and enjoy the winter weather while having fun in the snow and getting some fresh air. What's more, sledding is inexpensive and can be done in almost any area of the country. 

The thrill of sledding comes from the combination of speed and control, but it's important to be sure that you're wearing the proper equipment. Besides a helmet, typical safety equipment includes boots and goggles. 

3. Snowmobiling

For those who love to get out, there is no better way to enjoy the snow than snowmobiling. Whether you prefer to ride solo or team up with a friend, snowmobiling is one of the best ways to have a blast during the cold February month. 

Unless you are going for a long trip, you can rent a snowmobile for around $50 per hour in some places. If you are going on a long trip, then it may be more cost-effective to rent a trailer to tow your snowmobile.

4. Ice Fishing

Want to enjoy the serenity of February? As long as you have access to a frozen lake or pond, ice fishing is the perfect way to enjoy the snow. This activity can be done with friends or family and is often a great way to spend time together while being outside in the cold. Just be careful when stepping on thin ice! 

5. Ice Climbing

Ice climbing is one of the most extreme winter activities. It requires a high level of skill and strength to climb ice walls, and it is often done at temperatures below zero. If you enjoy the thrill of rock climbing, then you will love ice climbing as well. It's a challenging sport that is fun especially if you have the strength and endurance. 

6. Water Camping

While not quite as extreme as ice climbing, water camping is a fun way to enjoy the winter. This activity requires you to camp out in a lake or pond, and the weather can be just as unpredictable as ice climbing. Be sure to bring some basic supplies for cooking and hygiene. 

7. Snowball Fight

What’s more fun than a snowball fight? Whether you are throwing snowballs at friends, family, or a neighbor, this is one of the most fun activities to do in the snow. If you want to get in on the action, just initiate a snowball fight with your friends and family and see where it goes! No matter how old or young you are, you will have a great time throwing snowballs and enjoying the winter weather.

8. Snowshoeing 

Think of snowshoeing as hiking in the snow. It’s one of the best ways to enjoy the winter without breaking the bank. This activity can be done by both beginners and experts, and it is a great way to spend time outdoors. 

If you are new to snowshoeing, then start with some basic techniques and work your way up as you get more comfortable. Once you become proficient with snowshoeing, you'll have a great time exploring the snow and enjoying the winter season. 

9. Snow Sculpting

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, you can have a blast sculpting snow into different shapes and designs. The best part about snow sculpting is that you don’t need any special equipment. And then you can enjoy your creation in the snow! 

You can even challenge your family and friends for a snow sculpting competition, then enjoy a snowball fight while you watch your creation take the hit! 

10. Snow Tubing

If you are looking for a fun activity that is not as expensive as snowmobiling, then snow tubing is a great way to spend time outdoors. Snow tubing requires you to get in a tube and slide down a hill covered in snow.

The same thrill you get from riding a snowmobile can be experienced with snow tubing. This activity is similar to riding a snowmobile, except that instead of a sled, you use a tube.
