Winter sports - which ones do you do? [View all]

I used to cross country ski but was never very good. Give up trying to skate as a young kid, kept falling and hurting myself.

But I decided I am not sitting inside and being bored all winter ... I bought snowshoes from REI. Looking forward to trying that out. They are having a free class, Introduction To Snowshoeing, the week after Thanksgiving.
