For some people, winter is not just a season but rather a lifestyle. From snowshoeing and winter camping, to split boarding and ski touring, there’s something about the crisp air and fresh snow that keeps us coming back for more. The true powder hounds lament the thought of spring and continue to chase the best snow they can find.
For the Never Summer Weekend Project, we challenged our Instagram community to share their best winter adventures with us. We’ve picked a few of our favorites to showcase here.
