Here’s one for ya: I’ve never been skiing… or snowboarding. Ever. I am, however, pretty sweet on a pair of ice skates. But apparently winter sports are a “thing.” Physical exertion in below freezing temperatures with the risk of bodily injury seems to get some people’s adrenaline going. I’m not here to judge, but if you’re looking for me, it won’t be on the bunny slopes. Instead you’ll find me in the lodge sipping a hot toddy getting a foot rub from that cute ski instructor, Steve. Perhaps that’s why some folks put themselves through all of the swooshing and sliding down the side of a mountain: for the afterparty. We all know afterparties are where it’s at. Why else do you think they came up with the name, “apres ski?” And while I’ve already cut to the chase and am three hot chocolates in, you’re going to need to slip into something cozy chic for your fireside recovery. The look is cabin casual.

To be clear, leggings are still not pants. Not even on the side of a mountain.

Ha, me too! I rented a snowboard when I lived in snowy Deutschland, I tried them on at home and promptly decided that the only suitable winter outdoor activities that don’t terrify me (I just rewatched Alive) and that I am somewhat adept at besides what you mentioned are: shopping while others attempt to avoid avalanches and broken body parts, walking the Pugs (Maisy is retarded for snow) and ice skating which I do not rock at, but it severely prevents any “accidental” deaths via avalanches.I am terrified of avalanches, I can’t fathom being suffocated by all that fluffy cuteness….
