Activities: Winter Fun

Wind Walker offers a variety
of exciting activities throughout the winter...

Experience your horse's grace on a ride to see the native wildlife, snowmobile across newly fallen snow, ice-skate on a country pond, ride a sleigh, cozy up to a great book, sit around a fire, listen to a cowboy singer, or just mosey.

Wind Walker is located next to the Wasatch Plateau offering fresh powder and beautiful days making this a savored winter playground.

Rated #1 for high quality snow-capped mountains with a spectacular 365-degree view of the Manti-La Sal National Forest, this area has been distinguished and recognized for snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, kite boarding and other wonderful winter activities.

Snowshoeing has become popular over the last few years and many of our guests enjoy it as much or more than the cross country skiing. Snowshoeing offers seeing the exceptional views without the longer learning period associated with skiing. The trails are great for beginner and advanced snowshoeing enthusiasts.

Fairview Canyon provides world-class downhill skiing and snow boarding with no long lines or expensive lift tickets. Take advantage of true cowboy skiing as you are shuttled to the top of hills and then ride the virgin snow, meeting the vehicle at the bottom. There are no developed ski or snow board facilities here - it's pure back country adventure for free.

The Wasatch Plateau provides one of the premier snowmobile complexes in the U.S. Some 80 miles of area trails are groomed for snowmobiles by Utah State Parks, and there are countless more miles of bowls and ungroomed trails in adjacent play areas.

Snowkiting has endless possibilities. All you need is the wind, a snowkite, skies or snowboard, and an attitude for fun! Skyline Drive is a great spot for snowkiting because it offers plenty of deep snow, steep slopes and open bowls. It is the ultimate in backcountry skiing. There is no need for a ski lift or resort. Your snowkite will pull you uphill and downhill at varying speeds. If you would like to learn this fast growing winter sport contact Jeff Kafka with Wind Over Water Kiteboarding School.

After a great day of activities return to the comforts of Wind Walker for a home-cooked cuisine and relive the adventure. At Wind Walker you won't find long lift lines or crowds, just miles and miles of gently sloping terrain, soft powder snow and great western hospitality.
