If you like playing paintball when it’s warm outside, you’re gonna love it in winter. It’s exponentially more fun. You’re already dressed in layers and won’t be in pain when shot. There’s a lot less running around, and a lot more mental strategy. And it’s a lot easier to de-fog a mask.

We personally suggest playing capture the flag in a wooded area, where a great hiding place to snipe opponents is essential.

Try it at one of these area paintballers, both open in winter.
First Strike 10327 Highway 29, Chippewa Falls • 577-1488 • Sweet idea of scheduling “night games” around the full-moon weekends and it runs from 6pm until players are done playing at night. They even have a heated field house that allows players to warm up between games. Set up groups as call-in reservations.

Battlefield Paintball W12151 Vold Road, Osseo • 597-6644 • Check out their winter special of all-day paintballing for only $25 per player.
