Have you ever been snow kiting? Me neither. Actually, I've never even heard of it until my friend showed me this article that she's written on skiing alternatives in the Canadian rockies. I really like skiing but I can relate to the frustration of waiting in endless line-ups at lifts, so it's good to know that there are other ways to have fun outside in the mountains when everything is snowy and frozen. Skijoring, snowmobiling and backcountry skiing are also mentioned, though I don't think any are meant for the faint of heart! Taking a ride on the snow limo seems to be a less intense way to experience the mountain.

How do you enjoy the great outdoors when there's snow on the ground?
