In the winter, many of those who skate, bike, or enjoy the sun and summertime find themselves puzzled, and lost on what they should do to entertain themselves. Somewhere along the way, sitting in bed and binge-watching movie after movie gets repetitive, believe it or not. Those who break free of warm bed syndrome look optimistically to the winter snow that awaits them.
Many choose to go on vacations, some choose to stay home, but those that choose adventure go, and they never look back. From carving the fresh powder of the mountain to gliding across ice, people find enjoyment in snow sports all around the US.
“I’m really looking forward to snowboarding. I I go with a group of my friends… it’s never not fun,” senior Taj Stephens said.

Activities like snowboarding and skiing are a way for people to fill their lonely winters, and they are right to do so. Vacations to the snow and snowball fights with family and close friends make memories like no others.
“I have so many memories of being out in the snow and they’re never bad ones,” Stephens said.
There’s really not many experiences that beat going to the snow, and it’s unforgettable. Snowboarding brings joy to so many people around the world. It’s one of the biggest sports globally.
“I’ve only been to the snow like one or two times in my life, and I want to go snowboarding so bad because I’ve never been. I’m more excited for it than a lot of things right now,” junior Anaiylee Claybon said.
Other than snowboarding, things like sledding, ice skating, and hockey are all things people love to either watch or do. People who claim they are sad about summer just are simply too lazy to choose a new hobby or put in the commitment. There’s a vast amount of hobbies for the winter time, almost too many to count.
To indulge in these hobbies you could go practically anywhere that gets snow normally. Places like Shasta, Washington, and Mount Bachelor are all accessible if you choose to put in the effort. All you have to do is try.
