CROSS COUNTRY SKIING, ALPINE SKIING & SNOWSHOEING IN THE YUKON
Historically, skiing and snowshoeing in the Yukon were practical solutions to the challenges of winter transportation. Today, these activities are all about Yukon winter vacation fun and represent a unique way to experience this winter wonderland by ski or snowshoe in the northern latitudes of Canada.
For avid skiers, the Yukon's bountiful backcountry is a skiers dream-come-true. Whether you get your thrills from cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and alpine touring or telemarking, a lodge or city-based trip will have you waxing poetic about the redemptive powers of perfect powder. You can also achieve the same effect by foregoing boards and poles in favour of snowshoes-a truly novel way to experience the beauty of the northern landscape.
If you can't build an entire vacation out of skiing or snowshoeing, you'll be happy to know that many Yukon operators also offer tours that include these activities as part of their dogmushing, snowmobiling and aurora viewing packages.
