WHEN NATURE BECOMES YOUR PLAYGROUND
Playing outside speaks to us! Our hoods are designed to let you fully enjoy your outdoor activities. Wondering what you could do and when it would be the perfect occasion to wear your new hood? Here are a few suggestions to inspire you:SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING
Skiing and snowboarding are a must for many during the winter season! Whether you're a beginner or an expert, the slopes are a great way to enjoy the snow and mountains while getting some exercise. Safety first—don’t forget your helmet! It can be paired with our classic hood that fits over it for kids, and the over-hood for adults. With the NOPé hood, you ensure optimal windproof protection while keeping a clear view to appreciate the snowy landscapes. Bonus points if you’re in Saguenay ;)
SNOW SLEDDING
An activity that appeals to both the young and the young-at-heart! This activity can be practiced in parks, ski resorts, hills, and even in your own backyard if you have a sufficiently snowy slope. Snow sledding is highly accessible as it doesn’t require any special skills or expensive equipment. It’s an excellent option for families and groups of friends looking to spend a fun afternoon in the snow. Whether you choose a high-speed slide or not, our hoods are your allies to protect you from the wind!
ICE SKATING
Ice skating is another popular winter activity, whether on an indoor or outdoor rink. It's a great way to spend time with family, friends, or on your own, enjoying the fresh winter air while staying fit. If you don’t know how to skate, it’s never too late to start! There are often lessons available for beginners.
HIKING
Hiking with or without snowshoes is a popular activity that offers a unique outdoor experience. The advantage of snowshoeing is that it allows you to walk on deep snow and discover places that would otherwise be inaccessible in winter. Many regions offer marked trails for snowshoe hiking. Walking is very beneficial for health all year round. However, unlike warmer seasons, you must ensure you are warmly dressed. Put on your hood, beanie, and mittens, and you're good to go!
BUILDING A SNOWMAN
Building a snowman is a perfect time to play with the family and have fun. This activity is a return to basics for the grown-ups and allows you to reconnect with nature while expressing your creativity. Add accessories like branches for arms and a carrot for the nose to bring your snowman to life. To take your time creating your masterpiece, our hoods will keep the whole family warm and protected from the elements.
ICE FISHING
Ice fishing is a popular activity in regions where lakes freeze sufficiently to allow anglers to practice their favorite hobby. It involves drilling a hole in the ice to reach the water below and fishing for fish. This activity can be practiced alone or in a group and can be done on foot or by snowmobile to reach the most remote spots. Ice fishing is often considered a peaceful and relaxing activity. It’s a great time to reconnect with nature and unwind away from the noise and stress of daily life! Note that this activity should be done with care, adhering to safety measures to avoid accidents on the ice.
VISITING A SUGAR SHACK
The sugar shack is a classic of Quebec culture! During the sugaring-off season, families and friends visit to enjoy a good meal and dance to folk music. Besides the indoor activities, sugar shacks usually offer various outdoor activities, such as animal visits, tours of the sugar bush, outdoor games, etc. Whether you prefer sporty activities or those with friends and family, there’s something for everyone! By keeping you warm, our hoods accompany you in each of these activities, making these moments sweet and enjoyable.
