Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing
Looking to get off the beaten bath? Try snowshoeing—the perfect cold weather sport for those who may not be expert skiers or skaters. Snowshoeing is easy to learn, lets you take in the snow-covered sights and provides a fantastic cardiovascular and strength workout, blasting away up to 600 calories per hour. (Swinging those poles works your arms too!) You can usually rent snowshoes from a ski shop, so check out these ski resorts within four hours or less of the city. [Photo via]
