In 2013, I had the chance to try cross-country skiing on snow and just fell in love with being in nature and how hard it was to pick up the sport. And the snow is sparkly.
We took a straight course up the great snow ridge.

Just being a Pennsylvania kid, I've played in the snow before. I don't know. I can still cut and run, like it's not snow.
Maine is a joy in the summer. But the soul of Maine is more apparent in the winter.
I love outdoor winter activities like snow tubing and snowball throwing.
Anything that involves the outdoors I'm all about, whether it be skiing, snowboarding, wakesurfing to mountain-biking. Anything that gets me outside.
Winter sports aren't my thing. You can have your boards and blades and your glacier-gripping cleats: My feet prefer to negotiate the ground on a pair of dependable soles.
If it's cross-country ski season, I'll be out doing that, or snowshoeing up in Quebec. In my California home, I go to the local Y and I like doing yoga. It's been hugely beneficial to me in injury avoidance.
To get the feel of the polar night, I went back to Spitsbergen in winter. I went snowshoeing in the dark and experimented with headlamps and climbed a glacier in driving snow.
I haven't skied or snowboarded or anything like that.
The winter's a little bit daunting in Montana.
A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.
I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts. I really did have to walk home six miles through the snow, like your grandparents used to complain.
Lots of times, people go to the mountains and feel like it's not cool to wear a beanie and goggles and neck gaiter. But you're so much more comfortable, and you're getting the protection you need.
Winter in Maine is a time of alternating rest and frenzied activity.
I'm from Wisconsin, and I love snowboarding, hiking, yoga and soccer.
I don't know if you've ever tried to run through waist-deep snow, but it's next to impossible.
I am a fan of winter sports.
I'd never walked on snow 'til I was 50, you know. There's no snow where I come from.
