There is still Time – Enjoy Outdoor Winter Activities in Connecticut

You don’t have to travel very far to enjoy winter outdoor activities like snow tubing, skiing, snowboarding, and even snow biking.

Connecticut is filled with delightfully snowy spots you can enjoy as a couple, as a family, or with your best friends. Spend a few hours or the whole day outside enjoying the New England winter.

Getting outside and into nature is a very effective way to offset the winter blues that settle in when we spend too much time indoors. There’s no reason to hibernate when there’s so much fun so close at hand.
