The winter season is upon us, and naturally, that means many reasons to get outside and enjoy the crisp weather. The city of Vaughan is a fantastic winter destination for skiing, skating or hiking one of the many trails. There is something for everyone to enjoy the outdoors this season. Here’s a roundup of fresh-air adventures:
Hit the Slopes
Whether you want to ski, snowboard or just learn the ropes, Uplands Golf and Ski Club has got you covered. With a vertical drop of about 100 feet and slopes of varying difficulty averaging 1,000 feet in length, skiers and snowboarders of all ages have plenty of options for enjoying the fresh snow. Uplands is an easily accessible place for your family to learn, practice and have a fun day outside – the kids (and you) will be pros in no time!
If cross-country skiing is more your style, check out the 16 kilometres of ungroomed trails at Kortright Centre for Conservation, some of which are suitable for cross-country skiing.
Master the Trails
Vaughan is home to many trails and walkways to enjoy throughout the year, but they’re especially charming when it is a winter wonderland outside. Walking is a healthy outdoor activity that is a great option no matter your physical fitness level. Take a romantic stroll, a family walk with your fur-baby, or catch up with a friend and leisurely amble along one of Vaughan’s beautiful trails.
Skate Outdoors
If it’s a classic Canadian activity that you’re looking forward to, make sure to save this link when you want to lace up your skates!

Whether it’s at a local community centre or enjoying the outdoor skating trail at Sports Village beneath twinkling lights, you have your pick of spots to lace up at for an outdoor skating experience.
Play in the Snow
