A True North Canada Jasper Winter Experience
Experience the True North Canada in Jasper National Park with Jack Frost nipping at your nose.
True exhilaration comes in many different forms and sizes. Whether or not your exhilaration level is ice climbing the beautiful sparkling formations, or a leisurely snowshoe across the lake, we ensure there is an adventure that will fit everybody. Let us show you the best Jasper has to offer.
Ice Climbing
Beautiful to look at and exhilarating to climb. Jasper’s beautiful summer waterfalls turn into massive ice sculptures that are the perfect place to try ice climbing. Ask any local, there are many things they love to do, but ice climbing stole their heart.
Join Rockaboo Mountain Adventures for an unforgettable experience ice climbing!

Snowshoeing
Experience Jasper National Park in winter with a snowshoeing adventure. Traverse peaceful snow-covered forests, take in breathtaking mountain vistas, and enjoy the quiet beauty of untouched winter trails—a truly serene way to connect with nature.

Each step offers a new perspective on the winter landscape, from sparkling frozen streams to the soft, untouched snow blanketing the forest floor. Guided tours provide fascinating insights into the local wildlife, plants, and geology, making this adventure as educational as it is invigorating. Whether exploring at your own pace or with an expert guide, snowshoeing is the perfect way to experience the serene beauty and tranquility of Jasper in winter.

Available Year Round
Skating
The ultimate Canadian pastime has to be a game of shiny. Jasper offers many frozen surfaces in the perfect setting for a friendly game. The Canadian Rockies surround the ‘rinks’ and showcase our True North’s beauty in the mountains’ 360-degree views. Our favourite spots (in order) are Lake Mildred and Snaring Road.
Available Approximately November – March
Lake Mildred
We might be biased here, but the Lake Mildred Oval and shinny rinks are located just a hop, skip and a jump from the lodge and your cabins door. Over the years, many shinny games have gone down in history in some of the most epic games played. If shinny is not your thing – don’t worry – the rinks are surrounded by a 1KM loop that provides those same endless views we mentioned and hours of fun for the little ones and adults alike.
Snaring Road
A little pond off the Snaring Road campground road is a local’s favourite. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of town, it will feel like your own rink. Surrounded by tall mountains and snow-covered trees, it will feel like you are twirling around inside a snow globe. If you’re lucky, if mother nature cooperates, you can skate on this surface when it is frozen and crystal clear, letting you see the depths of the pond (which are pretty shallow).
Remember, this is not a monitored area, so please use it at your own risk and bring a shovel.
