Some might compare Logan to Narina: Always winter but never Christmas. Unless you are an avid skier/boarder, the Abominable Snowman, or Old Man Marley from Home Alone, you probably dread this time of year due to the cold. Now, to address the elephant in the room… yes Logan is on average 5-10 degrees colder than most cities in Utah. HOWEVER, let me assure you that, not only is Logan absolutely breath-taking when it is snow filled, but it can feel like Christmas everyday when you take advantage of the opportunities that it has to offer . Allow me to share some…
Snow shoe up Logan canyon (get shoes from the USU ORP for a few bucks!)
Sled down Old Main Hill
Do donuts on the snow covered streets
Have a snowball fight
Ice skate at Merlin Olsen Central Park outdoor rink
Ice fish at Bear Lake
Cross country ski up Logan Canyon (get skis from the USU ORP for a few bucks!)
Play snow football
Build a snowman
Take pictures for a Christmas card
Go to USU hockey games
Cut down a Christmas tree
Go see Christmas Carol the Musical
Hike to Utah State Yurt & sleep over
Build snow forts and play WWII
Etc. etc. etc.
Needless to say, there are endless ways to EMBRACE the winters in Cache Valley. We all have the choice to mope in our room for 4 months or get out and indulge the snow, but either way it’s still gonna be winter! EMBRACE IT!
