Cross country skiing - Where skiers rely on their own locomotion to move across snow-covered trails that are flat for long distances. Cross country skiers use very long and narrow skis where only the toe of the ski boot is attached.
Downhill skiing - Downhill skis have fixed-heel bindings that allow for stability for sliding down snow-covered hills
Skating - Ice skating can be both indoors or outdoors and sometimes on naturally occurring bodies of frozen water such as ponds, lakes and rivers. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, you can learn the basics of skating
Snow-shoeing - Snowshoes have a tennis racquet like structure and they strap onto your winter boots. They are very wide and are used for walking over through deep snow without sinking.
