Winter Sports

Winter is almost upon us. It's apparently been a very mild fall, but we should start having highs just above freezing pretty soon.

I've gotten a lot of advice from folks on how to handle the long and harsh winter, and I think some of the best has been to engage in winter activities. I'm already planning on learning to snowboard. Ontario has a bunch of hills that, while not great, are perfect for learning. So I expect to be making a bunch of trips to Mount St. Louis and Blue Mountain over the next months. I'm also thinking about learning to ice skate. The free public skating rinks have already started opening, and there's no way I'd go to one now, seeing as I've only been ice skating a few times in my life. You can take lessons, though, so I'll probably be doing that soon.

If anyone has any advice about skate buying, I'd love to hear it.
