Tips & Advice
- Dress in layers for outdoor events, as Yellowknife winters can be very cold. Even for shorter activities, warm, waterproof outerwear is essential.
- Check the specific event details for registration deadlines, especially for races like the Frostbite 50 or Yellowknife Gold Loppet, as spots may fill up.
- If attending with children, consider the 'Candy Cane Forest Ski' or 'World Snow Day' for a more relaxed and festive introduction to skiing.
- For the 'Frostbite 50', if you're not up for the full 50km solo, consider forming a relay team with friends for a more manageable and collaborative challenge.
- Bring cash for any bake sales or gear purchases at events like the 'Snow Show', as not all vendors may accept cards.
