Hot tubbing during the winter months is one of the most exhilarating and fun activities a family can do together. Even though the thought of being outside in the snow and cold without warm clothing can be standoffish at first, it’s actually a very common (and enjoyable) outdoor activity. Especially in areas that get chilly winter seasons such as Alaska and parts of Canada.

Many people spend most of their time indoors during the winter months and take advantage of home items that instil warmth, like cozying up to the fireplace or putting on a pair of flannel pyjamas. Outdoor hot tubbing provides that same level of comfort – but also provides a sense of refreshment and rejuvenation. The cold temperature outdoors and the warm water inside the hot tub create an invigorating combination that many people love. During the winter season, hot tub owners still use their outdoor hot tub on a regular basis and find the winter months to be the most enjoyable time for hot tubbing.

It’s important to remember that running your hot tub in the winter is different than running it in spring or summer. Hot tub owners need to run the hot tub for a longer period of time in cold temperatures, because it takes longer to heat up. It’s also a good idea to have a quality hot tub cover, which will help to insulate the hot tub and keep the heat inside. Floating thermal blankets can also be used to prevent heat from escaping.
