Family camping trips and just being exposed to the outdoors early in life.

Is the book for kids?

Well, kids and adults. It’s for anyone who wants to stay active and fun in the winter.

A lot of times it’s the parents that influence them. The book has activities that encourage both kids and parents to rediscover how magical it is to play outside in the winter.

What else is in the book?

Melissa has included some really interesting things in her book. Some skiing history, where di hockey come from and other fun bits of information and facts.

What is a favorite adventure you’ve had?

Spending the day skiing with my nephew. The day was spent skiing the way a ten year old does, skiing around trees, taking jumps, bumps and playing follow the leader. It was a fun day and exciting to approach the day like a 10 year old.
