I tried dogsledding years ago, back then they provided clothing and someone to “guide” the dogs. Soooo fun and interesting.

That’s my hometown! February is a cold cold month to go, but head out to the Aurora Village, the museum is really nice, the ice road is fun, Ingraham Trail. There is the Snowking Castle, skidoo/dogsled tours, ice fishing. There are various lodges in the area if you want to get even more remote, such as Blachford Lake Lodge.
Dionne
Aaron thank you for all your valuable advice! The Blachford Lodge got booked up soon. We tried!

I second dog sledding. It was -39, but it was easily one of the best experiences of my life. Being on the trails with a team of dogs was incredible. I recommend Alayuk. Also definitely eat breakfast at the Burnt Toast Cafe. If Sourdoughnuts is doing a pop up shop while you’re there, definitely check them out. Great donuts with unique flavours.
