Ogden Winterfest

Ogden’s First Winterfest “Where Cold is Cool”
February 12-13, 2010

It’s Ogden’s first Winterfest! We are hauling in and making snow to transform downtown into the ultimate winter celebration location. Toboggan parades, block parties, snowmobile street drag races, fireworks, concerts and skiing, snowboard and snowshoe sports demos are all part of the new tradition. This two-day celebration will play host to events like skijoring (skiing behind horses), snow sculpturing, a 5K race, as well as humorous competitions including human snow bowling, human dog sled races, and doggy look alike contests. Come participate or watch. The best part is—it’s free!

Grab your skis, boards, snowshoes, friends, and kids and come play on our ramps, rails, trails and ski hill, or battle it out in our friendly competitions. Stroll through the metro with tasty food and drinks while you check out the newest gear, cheer on your favorite contestants, or decide which ice or snow sculpture should take top prize.

Make sure to take a look at the two-day schedule and pick your favorite event to come and participate in and or watch. It’s sure to be a fun exciting and sometimes humorous experience. Ogden’s Winterfest “Where Cold is Cool.”
