What is Regina like in Winter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no sugar coating it \u2013 Regina in winter can be cold. Like extremely <\/strong>cold. Down to -50 degrees Celsius some days. Some years, there is a lot of snow. Other years, the snow falls and melts and falls and melts. <\/p>\n

In a good winter, there will be several feet of snow. This is ideal. This means there are more opportunities to take advantage of all the fun winter activities that come along with the snow. <\/p>\n

As long as you\u2019re dressed for it (here\u2019s a guide to dressing in Saskatchewan if you\u2019d like some tips<\/a>), it can be a lot of fun getting outside.<\/p>\n

    2. Snowshoeing at White Butte Trails Recreation Site<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    When we get piles of snow, there\u2019s no point battling the deep drifts when you can strap on a pair of snowshoes to stride across it all. <\/p>\n

    Only 20 minutes east of Regina are the White Butte Trails<\/a>. They are perfect for snowshoeing and also a great workout. There are 5 kilometres of dedicated snowshoe trails marked with signs that have snowshoes on them. Please note there are also 13 kilometres of groomed cross-country ski trails as well as fatbiking, walking, and dog-friendly trails. Be mindful to only use the designated trails for the activity you are doing.<\/p>\n

    Facilities on site include two parking lots, an outdoor toilet and two warm-up shelters. <\/p>\n

    5. Fat Biking the Trails in Les Sherman and Wascana Parks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The fat biking scene is exploding in Regina. A fat bike is an off-road bicycle that has thick, oversized tires. This is a modification that allows enthusiasts to ride on softer and more unstable terrain (re: snowy trails). <\/p>\n

    Thanks to the efforts of the Regina Multisport Club<\/a>, Regina Cycle Club<\/a> and the Regina Ski Club, they\u2019ve come up with a shared agreement to use some of the skate ski trails in the city so fat bikers can ride on the groomed surface. Check out the trails in Les Sherman and Wascana Park to get your ride on.<\/p>\n
