Just out running in the snow
I have realized I am totally in love with winter. I don’t think love is too harsh a word either. Perhaps this is the first stage of vitamin D deficiency or some other cold weather induced chemical reaction in the brain that has yet to be diagnosed and only occurs in people living close to the 60th parallel. Perhaps not.
Just one of those amazing snow and sunshine runs
Perhaps winter is just in my DNA as I am a mix of solid European farmer types. It’s definitely in Kobi’s DNA. That girl was made for the snow so I’m going to assume I am too. Except for my hands, they get terribly cold.

Winter is just so much fun (providing it is warmer than -30C). There is so much do to during this amazing season. I can cross-country ski, skate ski, skijor (ok, I’m new to that), snowshoe run or just snowshoe (only a Canadian would have 3 different types of snowshoes). Or I can just plain old run in a nice spiky set of Snowcross runners. It just doesn’t get any better.
First skijor. It was way too icy. We’ll try again.
To top off this amazing season, I don’t have to worry about bears or bugs, just packs of wolves and protective cow moose and the odd small herd of white tail deer which can also be quite protective of their young. Regardless, it’s still a great season.
Biggest wolf tracks I’ve seen!
I think I’m so stoked about this season because we have had a pretty decent winter this year. We weren’t hammered like the east coast with storm after storm and the temperatures have been pretty manageable. I also took a small tropical break. Nothing like absence to make the heart grow fonder.
Guess what I did while on vacation?
Can you guess where I was on vacation? Ever go skydiving? Am I weird to love winter so much?
