How to survive winter in the 605

Travel Tips

The snow was a bit delayed, but it finally feels more like winter in Sioux Falls!

While some people think life gets boring around here during the winter months, we think they just haven’t found the right winter activity yet.

From family-friendly activities to the biggest foodie event of the year, we have your winter guide to the 605!

🍔 🥊 Battle it out

Push your resolution of eating healthier to February so that you can indulge in one of the tastiest events of the year — the DTSF Burger Battle!

You have until the end of January to eat as many burgers as you can (there are 39 burgers this year), so grab a few friends and make your battle plan. 

🏂 Shred the gnar

Hit the slopes or relax inside by the fire when you visit Great Bear Ski Valley just outside of Sioux Falls. The park is home to 14 downhill trails, a tubing park, and cross-country and snowshoeing trails that will satisfy any outdoor lover. 

🏒 Catch the action

Augustana University men’s hockey is celebrating their second-ever season at the impressive Midco Arena. Whether you love the game or have never even heard of the penalty box, attending a game makes for a fun night out with family or friends. 

❄️ Embrace the elements at Good Earth State Park

On days when it isn’t -30 windchill, spending time outdoors during the South Dakota winters isn’t actually that bad (if you bundle up 🧤🧦).

Good Earth State Park just outside of Sioux Falls offers a variety of trails perfect for snowshoeing. And if you don’t have your own snowshoes, you can rent them from the Visitor Center.
