" Since when was snow an excuse to spend all day watching TV re-runs and eating stale holiday candy? (Okay, okay, a little bit of that is acceptable, but honestly, a serious case of cabin fever is unhealthy!) Just because it&amp;#039;s frosty outside doesn&amp;#039;t mean you can&amp;#039;t get out there and move. This month is ski and snowboard month, so all you beginner snow bunnies can take advantage of discounted (or even free!) lessons. More than 300 resorts in states from Alaska to North Carolina are offering reduced rates, so enjoy the next snowfall with a snowboarding/skiing extravaganza. Tis the season to learn a new sport, and burn a whole bunch of calories while doing it! In fact, both skiing and snowboarding give you about the same burn per hour as jogging - and if you multiply that by your typical day on the slopes, that makes it a killer workout. But hey, besides those awesome fitness numbers, outdoor activities like snowboarding and skiing are super fun. And that fun (sorry to be corny) is, well, priceless. So grab a pal, find your nearest mountain and hit the slopes! Hey, if you discover you hate it, snow tubing is always an option. :) -Kasia Krzoska "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
