There’s no sight quite like the Georgian mountains during the wintertime. If you’re fortunate enough to be staying in one of the quaint cabins at Mountain Aire Cottages & Inn in Clayton when it snows, you’ll be blown away by how the landscape quickly becomes a winter wonderland. This, of course, invites ample opportunities to play in the snow. Here are a few winter activities you can enjoy on your next family vacation in the mountains.

3 Family Vacation Activities to Enjoy During the Winter

1. Go Snow Tubing

This is an especially fun and easy activity for families with little ones. Since tubing doesn’t require any previous training or experience, you can either ride in tandem with your children or have them race down the hills solo. You can spend an entire day trying to beat your speed records or make it especially competitive by becoming a moving target for snowballs.

2. Ski or Snowboard Down the Mountain

If this is the first time you or your family are attempting to ski, this is a great opportunity to learn something new together. There are several ski resorts within 30 minutes of Clayton, so you won’t have far to travel. Once you’ve got the basics of skiing or snowboarding down, you and your family can enjoy exploring the mountains at your own pace. 

3. Build Snowmen or Forts

Simply playing in the snow is a classic winter activity that never stops being fun. If you don’t feel like straying too far from your lodgings, head out to the backyard and start packing some snow together. You can make a snowman while the rest of your family builds a fort, or you can all enjoy a giant snowball fight. Whatever your choice of activity might be, everyone has room to have their own fun.
