- 3 - 10 Wild, Wacky Ways to Enjoy the Snow (Snippets taken from http://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/10-wild-wacky-and-wonderful-sports-to-enjoy-this-winter-1.2160314) 1. Snowshoe running: Running in snowshoes is not technically difficult -- if you know how to run, you already know how to snowshoe run. But because it’s slower and you need to lift your knees higher, it’s a bit like running on the beach... but with fewer palm trees. 2. Fat biking: Fat bikes are not just a mountain bikes with fat tires. They’re made with frames and wheel forks that designed to accommodate tires that are two to three times as wide as regular bike tires. The tires are soft and deliberately under-inflated to allow the bike to sort of float over snow-covered trails, powder and even ice. 3. Baseboarding: Baseboarding is a fun new activity for adults and kids over 8 that has just arrived at Whistler Olympic Park. It uses a specially- designed rigid baseboard outfitted with a handlebar and parallel runners on the bottom. 4. Ice skating trails: Outdoor skating is hardly new, sure, but several communities are putting a new spin on the activity by building man-made ice trails that loop through parks and forests. The trails are created by flooding established walking paths which are either kept frozen with artificial cooling systems or with the help of Jack Frost. 5. Snowkiting: Snowkiting, or kite-skiing as it’s also called, simply involves holding onto a kite while on either skis or a snowboard and letting the breeze drag you along a space, such as a frozen lake. It’s a sport that’s said to be even easier to learn than waterskiing or kiteboarding on water. 6. Skijoring: If you’ve ever tried dog-sledding or gone for a sleigh ride and thought it not fair that the dogs and horses got to have all the fun, ski-joring might be for you. 7. Bobsleigh, luge and skeleton: Ever watched athletes flying down sledding courses during the winter Olympics and wished you could find out what that feels like? Well, at one of Canada’s winter Olympic parks in Calgary or Whistler, you can. 8. Downhill ice cross: Downhill ice cross is all that’s insane about speed skating, hockey, and ski cross, rolled into one. The sport sees skaters decked out in full protective gear barrelling downhill down a winding half- kilometre long ice track, hitting speeds of up to 60 km/h. 9. Snow tubing: If you’ve never flown down a toboganning hill in an inflated tube, feeling slightly out of control, you’re missing out. 10. Freestyle skiing and boarding: Freestyling isn’t altogether new – Canadian athletes have been excelling at moguls, aerials, and ski cross for years. But it’s the related freestyle disciplines of halfpipe and slopestyle skiing and snowboarding that have really exploded in popularity in recent years.
