With travels and gatherings put on hold, socially distant activities like skiing [1] and snowboarding may be the only outdoor fun we'll be allowed to have this year. Getting together with friends and family is normally on my December schedule, but not this time around. Instead, with winter almost here, I'm looking to ski trips and cabin getaways for a change of scenery.
The good news is, this will help me stay fit and active [2] as I continue to self-isolate. If you know any skier or snowboarder, encourage their habits with the heartwarming gifts I've curated for you ahead.
