Winter is Wyoming’s signature season, but there’s more to do in the Cowboy State than head to the mountains for skiing. Clear your calendar and plan to visit Sundance for the coolest winter festival in Wyoming. The freezing cold of February is no match for the fun loving Wyomingites who saddle up and bundle up to hit the snow covered streets of the storied western town.
Every year, the cowboy town of Sundance gathers to celebrate winter in the best possible way.
The Sundance Winter Festival is the most fun winter festival in Wyoming. Join locals on February 15, 2020, for a snowy experience that's unlike any other.
Throughout the day, skijoring teams hit the snow-packed streets to test their skills and bravery. Horses canter and gallop down the street towing skiers and snowboarders behind them.
Of course, there are always plenty of wipeouts that get cheers and laughs from the crowd. Staying on your feet is tough when you're traveling with one horsepower!
After the skijoring runs wind down, it's time for the barstool races. The most creative costumes and barstool sleds are on display as daredevils race down a snowy hill.
