"What are some of your favorite winter activities?" - Anon
Well, growing up I was always outside until it started getting dark and my parents had to beg me to come back inside before my limbs froze off. I would spend absolutely all day outside in the snow making forts and igloo type things in the middle of the woods and watching the kids on snowmobiles ride around and do some crazy stuff on those things. I always had fun making forts in the snow and I was a big culprit for taking the piles snow plows made and digging a hole right into them and making that into a fort to block out the wind. I can still remember my mom warning me not to get crushed by a snow plow lol.
Also, I've always quite enjoyed sledding or snow tubing. Just something fun about flying down the hill that fast on nothing but a piece of plastic of inflatable rubber. Granted, I have had some mishaps on running into bushes or tress or the like, but it's still really fun. I remember the first big blizzard we got 2 years ago and I was working at the time with 2 other associates. There was a hill down behind our store and so we grabbed an unfolded box, put a huge garbage bag around it to make it slippery and they dared me to ride it down the hill. Well, I did and i flew so fast i went down the hill, across the alley and into a hedge of thorn bushes o.o Not so pleasant.
On top of that, My father is a big skiier. Ever since we moved to the Poconos, I've been skiing. My father even got a job as a ski instructor and would need to go into work right as the mountain opened for business. There were even some days after I got good that he would take me to work with him bright and early in the morning and I would be the first one out there on the mountain to enjoy the fresh powder that was blown the night before. Being 8 years old and skiing by myself on some awesome trails was pretty fun, i do have to admit.
