At the oceanfront Wickaninnish Inn, layer on the slickers and gumboots and embrace the wind, waves and wild skies on a walk along Vancouver Island’s long, open beaches.

Bundle up and join the fun on the frozen Rideau Canal, the world's largest skating rink in the heart of Ottawa, Canada's capital.

Head to Whistler, Newfoundland’s Marble Mountain, or Quebec’s Mont Tremblant for a winter ziplining experience.

Drive Canada’s fabled frozen highways with a Northwest Territories tour—you can even glide over the icy roads in a limousine!

Mushers risk life and limb traveling hundreds of miles with their husky teams in some of Mother Nature's most punishing weather conditions for The Percy DeWolfe Memorial Mail Race and the infamous Yukon Quest 1,000 Mile International Sled Dog Race.

Strap crampons to your boots and join a guide, scaling the towering walls of iridescent blue ice in Maligne Canyon in Alberta’s Jasper National Park.
