Skiing

Cross-country territory is the Yukon. Skiing is a great way to enjoy winter in the Yukon, and there are many different types of skiing available. No matter where they are from, guests may enjoy their favorite winter sport because it offers a wide range of skiing possibilities.

85 kilometers of top-notch cross-country ski tracks in Whitehorse will take you into the icy landscape of Mount McIntyre. Ski the five kilometers of a multi-use route that runs beside the Yukon Wildlife Preserve's fence for a one-of-a-kind and memorable experience. You'll witness muskox, caribou, moose, mountain goats, and many other northern species in their diverse natural habitats.

Those looking to increase their speed and elevation can hit Mount Sima, which offers the bonus of an amazing view of the surrounding mountains. The Whitehorse and Watson Lake ski hills are relatively uncrowded, but if you want to ski in solitude, the backcountry is waiting. It’s exciting, it’s pristine and it’s devoid of novice skiers who might uncontrollably plow into you.

Choose your skiing adventure, or try them all. Just be sure to snap a photo—sunny blue skies, gleaming snow, and rosy cheeks make for an amazing profile picture.
