ideal way to get outside (and boy will it warm you up quickly)... You might be surprised at others doing it or go through your local parks department to see if they have groups or classes or some way to meet up with others to do it. Teach you how, if you haven't done it before. Colorado has had a miserably warm, minimal snow winter, but I hear Wisconsin has had more than its share. Just a thought.
