Dear Winter, you have our hearts: from gazing out at glistening, snow-blanketed landscapes and bundling up in our best cold-weather ensemble, to baking warm chocolate chip cookies and cozying up by a wood-burning fireplace for a quiet night in. You truly capture the essence of the holidays like no other season can.
Of course, the magic of winter is only enhanced by the experiences it offers; and you don’t have to be an expert skier to celebrate its glorious powder. We’ve curated a list of the ultimate snow experiences below so you can discover what ignites your own sense of winter adventure.
1. Snowshoe + Yoga in a Yurt + Distillery Tour
Embark on a one-hour, privately guided snowshoe hike through sparkling snow and dense woods, followed by a private yoga session inside an authentic Norwegian-style yurt. After your expert yogi helps you to find your mind, body, spirit connection, the crisp winter air will be welcome for a snowshoe hike to your next stop: a distillery.
Your guided tour includes a whiskey tasting and an opportunity to learn about the whiskey making process from grain-milling and mashing through distilling and aging.[/split_line_heading][split_line_heading]
