Imagine relaxing by the fire at a comfortable dude ranch nestled in a winter wonderland, surrounded by snow-capped mountains.
Imagine schussing along the pristine trails of freshly fallen snow or snow-shoeing through tree covered terrain.
Imagine the thrill of snowmobiling amid the spectacular wilderness or maybe one of the unique dog sledding expeditions offered by some dude ranches.
Imagine setting out from the guest ranch on an evening sleigh ride through glistening picture-perfect scenery topped off by a mug of hot cider or specially mulled wine.
Imagine a fun filled day horseback riding through drifting snow followed by a long soak in a hot tub.
Different dude ranches offer different winter activities depending on location, ranch amenities and the size of the dude ranch.
Snow Activities
What more beautiful way to enjoy the scenic countryside than snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing. These activities are usually readily available at most dude ranches. Some dude ranches have their own snowmobiles or you can bring your own. A winter ranch vacation is the perfect time and place to indulge your love of snowmobiling or give it a try.

Horseback Riding
Winter horseback riding at a dude ranch is an unforgettable experience; one of the highlights of a winter ranch vacation when weather conditions permit.
Skiing and Snowboarding
Many of the dude ranches are situated close to ski hills and offer ski passes as part of their winter packages thereby enabling their guests to not only enjoy a winter vacation in a ranch-type setting but to downhill ski or snowboard as well.
Dog-Sledding
Dog sledding is now being offered at some of the dude ranches and is a great opportunity to experience what can only be described as a truly one-of-a-kind adventure.
Spa at the Ranch
After all these activities, what better way to relax those tired muscles than a restorative massage or a ranch spa treatment. Many of the dude ranches provide extensive spa services for the comfort and well-being of their guests.
