Winter: it can be fun

Winter. It happens every year. It gets colder and darker and can be hard to keep moving and have fun. Somewhere in my adult years I stopped doing winter sports and just spent several months inside. 
Part of that is my job, but mostly I think I just forgot how to have fun in the winter. When I got a dog that helped as it made me get outside more, I bought winter boots again and a good coat and some ice grips. It gets really icy here as we have lots of warmer days with cold nights so the snow melts and re freezes and its just ice. ​
​Winter here can be harsh but it can also be lovely
This year I am trying to embrace winter more, be more hygge and enjoy hot drinks, slippers, blankets and cozy warm light in the evening as well as get out into the cold air and participate with nature in the snow. I started with January 1st going for a hike up tunnel mountain with a friend of mine, and then spending a few days in Banff with my husband and going up tunnel again. 
Its very different climbing up in the winter as the snow really changes the hike. It was even greatly different the two times I went as there was quite a bit more snow the second time. Its not like that in the summer, the biggest change you may see is mud. 
I have planned to hike every second Monday for the next few months so I hope to post a few more things about how the winter is different and also just some awesome ice picks!
