How to Dress For Winter Running
Die-hard runners keep running even when temperatures plummet and there's snow and ice on the ground. In order to exercise outdoors in the freezing cold, you've got to dress properly so you stay protected from the chilling wind but also dry and comfortable when you begin to sweat. Here's a basic list of how to layer up before a Winter run.
On The Surface of Things: Where to Run
Cool Running, the web site that brought you the ever popular Couch to 5K running program, has rated running surfaces. Why? In an attempt to help keep runners free of injuries - that's why.
Kitewing: A Sport For All Seasons
Snow may be long gone soon, but there are still some variations on snow play you all might be interested in. Kitewing, or "the wing" for short, gives you the wings to fly. Check it out.Ice-Ice Surfing
Ice surfing, also called Ice Sailing or Snofering, is a lot like windsurfing, but you ride ice instead of waves. It's a hybrid sport mixing the speed of snowboarding with the agility and power of wind surfing.

Skiing Defined
There are tons of ways to get from the top of a snowy mountain to the bottom. Here are all of the different types of skiing so you can get them straight, and know which one might be right for your personality.

Snowlerblades?

Noboarding: I Say Yes to the No, bindings that is
If you are a surfer in your heart and soul, nothing can compare to the freedom of gliding over ocean waves, with nothing but a board between you.
But in the winter, your only option is to snowboard, but the feeling of being locked into bindings that are attached to a board, isn't much like surfing at all. Until now.
Trail Running
I'm hearing a lot about how you ladies love running. I do too. I love it because it's hard, and I can really push myself, and feel every muscle in my body pumping.
Picking Out Snowshoes
If you've ever rented a pair of snowshoes, you'll probably agree that it was really fun and fairly easy to get started.
But you can't rent forever. Here are some tips when buying your own snowshoes:
- Know that they can be pretty expensive, depending on what you want.
