Take one look at the snow-capped peaks surrounding us, and it should come as no surprise that there are a variety of winter activities to choose from on the Olympic Peninsula. Surprisingly, a list of engaging winter activities on the Olympic Peninsula can look a lot like the activities enjoyed throughout the year.

The mild weather enjoyed at the coastal beaches, such as local favorites Second Beach, theOzette Triangle, and Kalaloch are only 2-3 hours away; perfect for any weekend getaway!
But, if you’re looking for the true winter activities that require some warm-weather gear and a little bit of snow, you’re in luck. While very little snow actually falls in Sequim itself, you’re never too far away from a day of powdery white fun in places like local favorite Hurricane Ridge. At an elevation of 5,000 ft., this beautiful recreation area gets an astounding average of 400 inches of snow each year. Located in the Olympic National Park, Hurricane Ridge offers more than stunning views. Here, you’ll find alpine skiing and snowboarding, as well as cross country skiing and snowshoeing trails. Beyond Hurricane Ridge, there are an abundant number of trails and Sno-Parks that can be enjoyed by cross-country skiers and snowshoers throughout the winter months.
