Ideas for Winter Workouts

At Country Ways, you can purchase beautiful snowshoes, poles, and bindings online. Michigan Snowshoe Center is another good source.

BackcountryStore.com sells snowboards, snowshoes, ski boots, and other accessories specially designed for women who tend to have shorter strides, smaller feet, and lighter frames.

Traveltime Vacations provides a free online vacation guide to affordable ski and snowboard getaways in Vail, Breckenridge, Winter Park, Steamboat, and Keystone, Colorado.

Log onto Iceskate.com to find an ice rink near you, or try the Yellow Pages under "skating rink" or "ice skating."
