planning and doing holiday parties, others find it a too
easy to spend the time indoors. Well, there are
still a few things left to do during the winter season. So,
for the adventurous mind, here is a list of some of the things you might find exciting (if not challenging).
If ice skating is too boring for you. You’re welcome and enjoy.
Ice fishing
Let’s start with something subtle like ice fishing. When you
are up for a bit of fresh (icy) air ice fishing can be refreshing. Also, this is a good time for people who
do not have boat access to fish into some of the best spots. Some of the best fishes to catch during
winter are lake trout, walleye, pike, perch, and whitefish.

Bird watching
Birds as many as 120 species flock Toronto between December
and February. It is when owls take the center of attraction. Hedwig anyone? If you are lucky you
can easily spot (even against the snow) a snowy owl. These species are very loud during the winter
season as it is also their breeding season. Some of the birds you might see during your trip are
pigeons, sparrows, and flocks of starlings, blue jays even cardinals. One great tip from experts: you have to move
slowly in the bushes and just listen to the birds calling out to each other.
Now let’s move on to more of the fun side.
Dogsledding
Dogs need a little bit of exercise too during the winter season.
They need to get out there and do warm up but not too much. I know there a number of ways to travel
across the snow terrain; ATVs, snowmobiles, snowshoes and even on large trucks. But for
another adventure and an experience from the good old days, try dogsledding. You can experience the
full natural beauty of the season in sled where a team of Siberian huskies pulled you all the way
across the terrain. You just need to have steady hands and a good set of arms. Just like in the movies.

And then, there more for the adventurous…
Surfing
If you are a true blood surfer who cannot stay dry and out
of the water, try surfing during the winter. Some people think it is not too cold as what others think.
But don’t start when the temperature drops. You can start warming up when the winter season is about to
start, to ‘acclimatize’ your body. You don’t want to start shivering up when your foot just touched the
water. Just feel the breeze and be with nature.

Scuba Diving
Why wait for the winter season to dive? One answer, algae.
The lake contains from algae bloom during the summer which makes it hard for divers to see underwater.
The cold environment kills all the algae making it easier and more enjoyable for divers. Believe it
or not, some locals dive into the lake even when the temperature goes below zero. Before hitting rock
bottom, (of the lake of course) make sure you are well hydrated and ate a decent meal. If you don’t it
could greatly affect your performance underwater. A situation where you don’t want to put yourself
into.

So, whatever adventure you choose before winter hits again.
Make sure safety is your top priority. Adventure won’t do you any good if you are six feet under.
