Make this your month of winter magic

Dispatch from the Snow Globe (SilverStar, BC) - January is the best time of the year. Anyone can take the plunge into winter in so many ways. 

How can you take the plunge? Read on for some ideas and inspiration, and click through to our weekly snow roundup for the latest on where the snow is and where the next cool events are happening throughout the season.

Set your intentions for adventure

This is the month where intentions for the year are set. What you do this month has a massive effect on the outcome of your year. It’s why so many take the plunge in Polar Bear swims. It’s why I scored my 20th polar bear swim for January 1.

 

A polar bear swim is a great way to kick start the year, only thing: it was -14C (coldest I’ve done).

When my buddy Brett Woods of Dialed Rides and I arrived at the lake people were playing ice hockey on it. Woods earned his new nickname as the “determinator” seeking out what we were after: open water on the lake’s east side.

Once we took the plunge, we were determined to round out the day with a winter “8.”
