Secondly, I have started to really use the snow to my advantage. I have gotten some amazing "pow" days of snowboarding this year and as it keeps dumping the pow keeps coming. This snow also brings some quality night sledding! That is right, I have become and advt night sledder. I don't actually own a sled yet, so I have gotten creative. I made a garbage bag body suit which I use like it is a slip-n-slide. I make my course, get a running start and then lay flat on my butt and lower back. My lighting speed keeps up with other "sledders" whom have real sleds. So I feel pretty cool knowing my garbage bag sled works well and was free!
Lastly what the snow has brought is this wonderful sense how beautiful nature, scenery and cities look all wrapped up in snow. Since I was so lucky to receive a beautiful camera for Christmas I have gotten the chance to really embrace taking pictures. I love the snow especially for pictures!
Well, I won't rant anymore about the fabulous aspects on snowy winters. While I love the snow, I do imagine laying on the beach in Thailand, or Puerto Rico or Costa Rica at times when I am freezing my butt off in the cold and wet snow. But then again, nothing beats a great powder day on the mountain!
