While some people might shudder at the thought of freezing temps and snowy streets, we throw on an extra layer (or two), and embrace the endless possibilities that those flurries bring! Head to our local ski resorts and toboggan runs, or hit the trails for snowmobiling and fat tire bicycling.
If you're someone who has a Winter Wonderland breaking point, we've included some indoor activities for you to take advantage of when you're not feeling particularly outdoorsy. So take an afternoon painting class, or warm up with a cup of delicious hot chocolate!
