Whether it's downhill or cross country, it's just about time to hit the slopes or the trails this winter season in Manitoba! Manitoba’s landscape is ideal for dipping through forested areas on cross-country skis but that doesn’t mean we don’t also have some mean downhill slopes as well. From bunny hills and black diamonds to dips, dives, and straightaways, Manitoba’s winter offers challenges and fun for all types of skiers. Check out Chickadee Trail in Birds Hill Provincial Park!

3. Tell Someone You Love Them a Latte

Listen to the sleigh bells jingling through the snowy woods. Cozy up in blankets on a sleigh pulled by a team of Belgian Draft Horses.
