Winter Activities

While we haven't had a typical winter this year in Minnesota, exporting 'winter'-- or a part of it, anyway-- used to be a big business in the North Star State.

After this weeks snow, we wondered what Minnesotans enjoy the most about the winter months, if anything?

Exporting 'winter'-- or a big part of it, anyway-- used to be a big business in Minnesota.

As a kid, my family and I usually just skated on our aunt's pond, but if that's not an option for you, take some time and check out one of these fantastic Southern Minnesota ice rinks.

These eight state parks are incredibly worthwhile destinations during winter, even if it does mean you have to leave your cozy house.

Last week, twelve teams from around the world gathered in Stillwater, Minnesota, to compete for the gold in the first World Snow Sculpting Championships.

The marvelous Bold and Cold Winter Festival is right around the corner, and in honor of the event, one Owatonna group is turning into a take-out restaurant for the night.

Not only is Stillwater home to the country's largest ice maze, but also to the first World Snow Sculpting Championship.

Nothing stops us Owatonnans from enjoying the winter season. That's why we host the signature Bold and Cold Winter Festival each year.

The Christmas season is over, but that doesn't mean you can't still decorate your yard to honor the (often uncomfortable) freezing weather of January, and one Minnesotan decided to do just that in the most unique way possible.
