I love sledding, tubing, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and ice skating. I've been doing all of them since elementary school.
That's not to say there haven't been pitfalls. In 5th grade I got a spiral fracture on my right leg from tubing at a ward activity. In Jr. High I broke my 3 fingers while skiing. In High School I broke my collarbone and more fingers snowboarding. I've also had numerous sprains, torn ligaments, and other bumps and bruises along the way.
I still love the winter sports, especially the free ones like tubing. There will certainly be broken bones along the way, but it's part of growing up and enjoying the seasons and environment.
