Hit the trail, sled the hills, and warm up by the fire pits in SoDa Row Village. This quick guide shows you where to go and how to stay comfy on snowy days.
Sledding in Northshore Village
Start with a classic. A favorite sledding hill in Daybreak sits in Northshore Village off Vermillion Drive. The slope begins in a park and has few trees, so it’s a great choice if you love speed. Snowboarders sometimes join in, too.
- Safety first: Wear a helmet, keep a safe distance, and watch your surroundings.
- Dress right: Waterproof layers, gloves, and warm socks make a big difference.
Snowshoeing After a Fresh Storm
Snowshoeing offers quiet, scenic miles—and a solid workout. In fact, studies show it can burn over 45% more calories than walking or running at the same speed. That means you’ll warm up fast while exploring Daybreak’s parks and paths.
- Pro tip: Use trekking poles for balance on uneven snow.
- Plan a loop: Choose routes with easy exits if weather changes.
Cross‑Country Laps Around Oquirrh Lake
When snow covers parts of the trail around Oquirrh Lake, residents often ski easy laps and enjoy the views. It’s a low‑impact, total‑body workout that most people can try with minimal instruction.
- Share the trail: Yield to other users and avoid classic tracks if you’re walking.
- Check conditions: After storms, watch for ice and drifts.
Winter Biking: Ride Year‑Round
Cold temps don’t have to end your riding season. With a few tweaks, you can keep spinning all winter.
- Layer up: Start warm and vent as you heat up.
- Traction matters: Wider tires help on snow; keep your bike well‑maintained.
- Ride aware: Shorter daylight and slick spots call for slower speeds and lights.
Know Before You Go
- Park hours: Neighborhood parks generally operate sunrise to sunset. Always follow posted signs.
- After storms: Watch for temporary closures or snow‑pushing operations on key routes.
- Warm‑up spots: Grab cocoa and relax by the fire pits in SoDa Row Village after your session.
