Nordic walking. Picture cross-country skiing, but lose the skis and keep the poles, and take a stroll—whether along a sidewalk or trail—instead, and you’ve got the fitness trend in a nutshell (no snow required). https://theeverygirl.com/nordic-walking/

Those from the Northeast often have the misfortune

Those from the Northeast often have the misfortune of experiencing a season which those in stabler climates rarely worry about. Stuck between February and April, “mud-season” is that awkward time of year before any greenery has peeked out, and after the snow has begun to melt.

The Granite State is known for its massive rock formations, impressive peaks, and the charming New England settlements scattered amongst their foothills. In the winter months, these same quaint towns turn into gateways to some of the most expansive and interesting cross country ski terrain around.

As the holidays approach and ski season with them, folks may find themselves scrambling for exciting winter getaways that are remote enough to be interesting, yet close enough to be accessible. In such moments, Mont-Tremblant, the quaint resort town nestled in the Laurentian mountains, less than a two hour’s drive north of Montreal—offers east-coasters the luxury and adventure of more far-flung destinations, without the hassle.
