Activities in Winter  
     

Season of frozen lakes, clear days and delightful northern lights on the night sky!!

Relax in the cozy comfort of your log house, listening to the crackling fire in the wood stove...

Best time to enjoy the winter in the Yukon is mid February through mid April!

On snowshoes
Enjoy the wintry landscape by hiking on snowshoes. Leave your tracks on the frozen lake or try to make your trail through the bush.

On cross-country skis
Venture out onto Little Atlin Lake or glide along the shore. Take advantage of the cross country ski trails in the Marsh Lake area (close by) or starting from Log Cabin (a little farther away on the way to White Pass). Please bring your own skis and boots - or rent the equipment you need in Whitehorse.

On a dogsled

Winter attractions
Every month is different...

...October. Transition month between fall and winter. You will definitely need a toque on your hike! Are you an avid photographer? You are going to like the special fall light, the last colors of the season, the first "snow decorations"...

...in November, there is usually not much snow yet. It is a very special experience to watch the freeze up of the lake and listen to the strange noises, caused by tension in the new ice.

...December. Take advantage of the frozen lake for your sporting activities. And enjoy the comfort of your cozy guesthouse in the middle of a northern winter.

...January. Best chance to experience the dry northern cold! With appropriate clothing all sporting activities are possible.

 

...February. Winter sports "Yukon style" are now at their best,

...as well in March!  The days are now warmer and noticeably longer.

...in April you can feel the warmth of the spring sun, when you snowshoe along the lake shore in search for signs of spring: pussy willows, birds singing excitedly it seems, small creeks feeding the lake...
