DOG SLEDDING Our boys really enjoy dog sledding. Our first dog sledding activity was conducted in February 2002 in Ontario Canada through Venture Out Expeditions near Huntsville, Ontario. In 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, we ventured to northern Wisconsin where we visited Paw-Tuck-Away Kennels in Danbury, Wisconsin. Our Scouts thoroughly enjoyed their program. Unfortunately they closed down in 2012. Our hope is to continue offering future activites featuring dog sledding.

ICE BOATING Our Ice Boating activities have included trips to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, one of the ice boating centers of the United States. The size and depth of Lake Geneva plus it's annual snowfall make it unique for ice boating. Ice boating is a sport that dates back to the early 20th century. We have used DN and Skeeter ice boats which under the right conditions can top 100mph. The feeling of sailing across the lake on 3 skates powered by the wind is exhilarating. It is a unique sport requiring exacting weather and ice conditions. It's another great way we enjoy the winter season.

KLONDIKE DERBY Klondike Derby is a district event where a group of Scout troops gather to compete in a series of Scouting events during the winter. Usually each patrol pulls a Klondike Sled through a course stopping at the various events enroute. Our Scouts enjoy participating in these events.

SKIING - SNOWBOARDING Skiing and Snowboarding are great winter sports that involve physical fitness, fun, and excitement. It's considered one of the "cooler" things to do in the winter season. Many Scouts learn to ski for the first time on a troop ski trip. We have done one day trips, weekend overnights, and week long trips. MIDWEST Our ski/snowboard activities in the midwest have included Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan. We have enjoyed the slopes of Chestnut Mountain in Illinois; Alpine Valley, Cascade Mountain, Devil's Head, Grand Geneva, and Granite Peak (formerly Rib Mountain) in Wisconsin; Blackjack Mountain and Indianhead Mountain in Michigan. COLORADO For our older more advanced skiers, our Scouts have enjoyed longer trips in the great snow powder of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. These have been great adventures, creating lasting memories. Our visits to Colorado have included skiing at Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Winter Park, and Sunlight Mountain.

SNOW CAMPING We have enjoyed snow camping for many years. Our activities have taken place mostly in northern Illinois where snow can sometimes be scarce. We have built and slept in quinzhees during our snow camps. Our best snow camps take place in the northwoods of Michigan or Wisconsin where we can find a dependable snow base. We have camped in wind chills of -53F. We like to have overnight snow camps each season, weather permitting.

More recently we have enjoyed snowshoeing at Rib Mountain State Park and Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, both in Wisconsin, Indiana Dunes State Park in Indiana, the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan, and along the Kewanee Peninsula at McLain State Park in Michigan. Snowshoeing on the ice shelf along the shore of Lake Superior provides a "lunar-like" surface of fantastic formations created by ice and snow. We have also enjoyed snowshoeing in the remote wilderness of Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario Canada. Troop 33 owns an assortment of Atlas, InStep, Tubbs, and Yuba snowshoes which are free for Scout use on our winter activities.
