This is what I like to do when I can't go canoeing. What's your winter activities?

Cross country skiing is one of my favorites, and its a good cold weather activity as the body produces alot of heat. I was out yesterday for two hours with a temperature of -29 C -20F skiing up the series of beaver ponds behind the house. When its warmer I like going to the remote cabin and spend time in the bush. I heat the house with wood and that keeps me busy when temps drop. Last night it reached -40, fire runs steady and the oil furnace has not run for the past week.
 
It looks like good ice there. That thaw a couple of weeks ago helped lower the snow on lakes around here then the quick freeze skimmed it over nice and glassy. Lake Waconia has a good number of fish houses on it so you don't see ice boating at this point. With -15 F temps the ice sure is talking.....thump and boom.
