Our Winter Wonderland!
Prince George is truly a winter city and we celebrate all things snowy - there is no reason to hibernate during the chilly winter months!
Looking for some serious outdoor action? Exchange your hiking boots for a pair of snowshoes and make tracks into the bush. Nordic skiing opportunities are limitless, from groomed trails to sparkling, snow-covered backcountry. Click here for cross-country skiing map.
If sliding downhill is more your speed, strap on a board or two and get powdered at one of our local ski hills. Or switch on the engine and join brigades of local snowmobiling enthusiasts on hundreds of miles of groomed trails and limitless backcountry sledding opportunities throughout the region.
A hockey fan? Catch the NHL stars of tomorrow with the Prince George Cougars at the CN Centre or the Spruce Kings at the historic Coliseum. Our arenas are home to rec hockey, speed skating and figure skating for all ages and levels.
Travel back to your childhood and go sledding at Carney Hill and Rainbow Park.
Looking for something a bit different? Try your hand at dog sledding; meet the dogs and take an exhilarating ride through frozen time.
Residents celebrate and embrace snow by attending the many winter light up festivals including the Northern Lights Festival, Christmas Tree Light Up, Railway & Forestry Museum Lights Up, Festival of Trees, Kris Kringle Luncheon. The annual Winter Celebrations encourage residents and businesses to celebrate light with decorative, cultural and spiritual themes in the spirit of the season.
Our festivals such as Cold Snap Music Festival, SnowDaze and Festival D'Hiver guarantee your winter experience is a genuine one! Bustling craft fairs bring out the creative in everyone - these are the places to buy unique holiday presents for family and friends!
