Knuckleheads Recreation Area Some of the best snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, winter hiking and snowmobiling are some of the highlights of winter in Powell River. The elevation of the sub-alpine area of The Knuckleheads falls within the Coastal Snowbelt, snowfall usually begins at November and continues until May. Largely the area is on the north slope of the range and remains sheltered from the sun. Snow can stay on the ground until as late as June. Snow depth ranges from 10 feet to 16 feet around January.

Winter Diving Deep fjords and inlets along the Sunshine Coast offer excellent cold-water diving.  The waters of Skookumchuck Narrows at the entrance of Sechelt Inlet are highly rated by diving magazines and the Cousteau Society.  Topping the list of dive sites is the scuttled WWII Royal Canadian Navy escort destroyer, the 112 m (366 ft) HMCS Chaudière.  Sunk by the Artificial Reef Society of BC in 1992 at the mouth of Salmon Inlet, it's now a colourful marine ecosystem of orange plumous anemones, white tube worms and ling cod.  In Powell River waters, lost anchors, strange rock formations and flourishing sea life make Pirate Rock one of the area's most dramatic dives.  The most popular shore dive is at Mermaid Cove where Canada's first underwater statue rests serenely; the Emerald Princess is a 2.5 m (8 ft) sunken bronze mermaid.
