Since the inception of Sierra Trading Post's #TeamSierra blog network, I've been fortunate enough to be a part of it. The network is in its third season, and for the past three "seasons," I've had a platform (soapbox?) to share stories and tips around all sorts of things.

My favorite thing about winter? We ski a lot, and we snowshoe, so those are tops. But honestly I like the quiet you get when you're outside and there is a fresh blanket of snow. Living in the city I miss that the most.
I live in Michigan and my favorite thing about winter here is the snow. It means getting together with family and going sledding. So much fun!
I love how winter opens up space. You can see new things in the winter when there's no leaves on the trees. I used to think it was dead and not as pretty, but I've come to see winter in a whole new light!
So many things! I love skiing, I love snowshoeing, but most of all, I love the silence that comes after a blizzard. Everything is fresh and still and clean!
While I'm not a fan of spending a lot of time outdoors in the winter, I do love the calm quiet feeling right after a snow storm! And I do enjoy how less busy and crowded parks and other outdoor places are!
I love how beautiful everything is just after a snow fall. I love playing in the snow with my dogs. I love hot spiced apple cider. I love curling up by a fire. I love lots of things about winter. :)
The picture you just painted is wonderful :)
That calm quiet feeling is wonderful, isn't it? Thanks for commenting!
I love the gleaming white and being playful in the snow!
I knew you'd say something about skiing :) But there seems to be a consensus that the quiet snow gives us is pretty special!
I love this, Sara! You're right, it can seem like everything is dead, or asleep, but the world's also so beautiful and quiet.
My favorite thing about Winter is the snow.

Watching the snow from inside a cozy cabin--fireplace mandatory :)
getting to wear jackets again
My favorite thing about winter is the quiet and peacefulness outside when it snows.
Less people on our favorite trails in and around our small tourist town. Being able to explore and enjoy our area with family and friends in the peaceful stillness of the winter, embracing the beauty of the snow as it transforms everything around us. We are so blessed to have our 4 seasons and an especially the long winters here in Northern Michigan! It's a wonderful life! :)
My favorite thing about winter in the desert is that I can continue to do all my regular activites, but enjoy the cooler weather. Trail running in the "winter" (today its 68 degreees) is my favorite thing to do. I also love migrating North and hitting the slopes. Skiing always brings back memories of being on the slopes with my dad.
Those are great ways to enjoy the snow for sure, Rich!
Sledding is the BEST! Thanks for the comment, Nicole!
Now that's a pretty picture for sure.
Winter and I have not always gotten along, but since I've started skiing, it's a lot easier to love the snow! My favorite part is playing in the snow with my cousins (who still love cold weather no matter what). The happiness they have is infectious!
Winter hiking is great! The temperatures are more comfortable, there are no bugs, and the trails are less crowded. And after a snowfall it is so quiet and peaceful. It is a great time to be outdoors!
Being playful is awesome! There's something about snow that always makes me feel like a kid :)
Good call, Heather!
Mmmm that sounds wonderful, and hot cocoa!
Yeah? What's your favorite winter jacket?
Beautiful!
Man, Michigan does sound pretty spectacular! I'd love to visit in fall to see the foliage sometime.
That's so odd to me, Brandon, a winter with 68 degree temps! It must be nice to do what you're excited to do in the winter, then be able to travel for snow.
Skiing definitely makes winter more fun! And you're right, playing with people, especially kids, who love cold weather is the best!
No bugs, that's one of my absolute favorite things about winter! It gets so bad in PA and NY.
No more bugs is my favorite! Haha
My favorite thing about winter is snow! I love when it snows and it sticks to the trees it's so beautiful.
I have an older NorthFace Hyvent shell that works with any number of insulating layers - that thing just fits me
I love the snow:)
I love the snow and snuggling up next to a fire!:)
I love the snow!!!
Snow and the holidays!
YES! Bugs can get so annoying here too!
Agreed, Ashley! Such a beautiful scene :)
Well, I do agree with the mob mentality here...snow...especially on the weekend!
