Try this: Snow kiting

Unless you have a health problem that prevents you from being out in the cold, there's really no good reason to let the snow keep you indoors this winter. Not only can fitness continue all winter, snow and ice can make things MUCH more interesting! Take, for instance, snow kiting.

Like kite boarding on water, snow kiting involves using a large kite for acceleration. But unlike kite boarding, snow kiting is a lot easier to learn (mainly because you don't have to worry so much about keeping yourself afloat!). Kites come as cheap as $60, so if you already have snowboarding equipment, it won't cost you much either. Because you can snow kite in a flat area, it's a great activity for those who want to snowboard aren't within easy driving distance of a ski hill.

Check out the video of snow kiting lessons below. It might not be for you, but it's a good example of how to make physical activity fun in the wintertime.
