You Can Skate Through An Evergreen Forest On A Frozen Trail In BC This Winter (VIDEO)
The magic of winter is far from over. In B.C. right now, you can skate through an evergreen forest and it’s absolutely amazing. Right in the middle of Apex Mountain Resort, there is possibly the most dreamy skating path ever. If you don’t have any Christmas day activities planned, then consider hitting up this adorable skating loop.
Time to lace up the skates. The holiday season is all about bundling up in your warmest clothes and doing all of the winter activities you can.
During the winter season in B.C., there are tons of bucket list things to do.
If you’re looking to get out and get active, you should think about hitting up this epic skate loop near Penticton.
The skating path is located at Apex Mountain Resort. It's a one-kilometre loop through possibly the most gorgeous and lush forest ever.
In order to show it’s beauty, Visit Penticton recorded a video of one of their employees skating through the loop.
In the video, you can see the wide trail wind through incredibly tall, snow-covered trees.
Honestly, the video alone is relaxing so we can only imagine how calming it would be in person.

There are tons of magical outdoor skating rinks around B.C. but this one really takes the cake.
Apex Mountain is located just a short hour's drive from Penticton. Open every day during the season, this skating loop can be your ticket to your next date night or weekend outing.
It is open every night until 11 p.m. which means you can take in these gorgeous sights in a totally romantic way when the Christmas lights come on.
The wonderful part is that it is so cheap to visit. According to Apex’s website, it is only $4 per person to skate.
There are also skate rentals available for $11. This also includes the cost of your entrance fee.
If you want to take your winter experience one step further, you can even arrange for food and bonfire afterwards. It would make the perfect place to host Christmas day with your loved ones.
In case you are looking for other epic skating rinks, considering hitting up the rainbow-lit skate path in Edmonton. It’s like Rainbow Road from Mario Kart but on skates.
If you're about distance and not aesthetic, then try skating on a 29-kilometre frozen trail surrounded by mountains in B.C. It’s seriously epic and you will be nice and worn out afterwards.
