Winter is my favorite time of year. Without the bother of mosquitos or ticks, winter is when I most often spend time outdoors, and that has been true for most of my life. 

Growing up at the base of a ski mountain in a family of skiers almost single-handedly defined my childhood, and that enmeshment in the culture of skiing continued on into my adult years, where I spent almost all of my 20s working in the world of ski racing.
