It’s a really good idea to spend an afternoon or evening checking out other activities you can do in the snow, which don’t require the use of an engine.

There is a really long list of these, which will change depending on where you stay, but the most common ones are snowshoeing, ski touring, cross country skiing and sledding. For the most part they require you to walk as well, so they’re really good for your body.

If you’re looking for some untracked powder, try to stay away from activities like heli-skiing and cat-skiing because, as well as running on petrol, they also disturb the wildlife in areas which are usually quiet.
