I know we have not had much snow yet, but rumor has it we are going to be seeing a lot more snow this winter. With this being my first winter in Minnesota, I wanted to find outdoor activities that remind me of the ones I use to do back in Colorado. My brothers and I would jump on every opportunity we had to go tubing. Minnesota has a lot of options for winter sports. Here are some ways to enjoy the outdoors this winter.
