Wow, since I learned to ski I had forgotten about, "winter depression". Even when I lived in the dreary midwest skiing gave me a purpose for winter, Christmas and spring breaks, skiing somewhere in snow country.

Now that I live in Colorado I don't notice winter, 63 downhill days, 7 xc days. It's been snowing here all day, still snowing, 22 degrees with 10+" of powder on the slopes, more on the way. Hard to believe winter is almost gone and there's only a month left to ski. Daily outdoor activity, even if it's a simple walk, keeps winter blues at bay.

As much as I'm trying not to, I already have a tanned face and my vitamin D levels are normal.
