2nd Annual Winter Women Weekend in Kenora
2026-02-21 09:00 - 16:00
Guess what, adventure gals?! Kenora is calling!

Backcountry Women and Mosswood Adventures and Rentals are teaming up this February to turn the beauty of Kenora into the ultimate winter playground for women who embrace adventure!

Whether you have been a long time explorer who gets out year round, or you’re looking for a fun opportunity to beat the winter blues…

February 21 to 22, 2026

SATURDAY: Think snowy trails, “choose your own adventure” afternoons at Mt.Evergreen Ski Club and that perfect rosy-cheeked glow. From tubing to technical skiing lessons with Kenora Nordic & Biathlon Club, the hills are yours! We’ll end the night the best way we know how: Après Ski vibes and a delicious group meal.

SUNDAY: We transition from the mat to the ice! Start with a soul-warming candlelit yoga session with Lakeside Yoga Collective then head out to the iconic Lake of the Woods ice roads for group ice biking and fire-building. We’ll wrap it all up with treats and hot drinks at Hard Water Cafe.

This isn’t just an event; it’s a weekend of finding your community in the wild.

Don’t wait – tickets are limited!

Invite your adventure buddies and claim your spot!
