Let It Snow

In Minnesota, we know winter very well. And we don't mind the cold, because as some of our ancestors taught us, there's no bad weather—only bad clothing. So we bundle up, head out and make the most of this magical season, whether it's on our thousands of miles of ski and snowshoe trails, on top of a frozen lake or snuggled up by the fire in a cozy winter cabin.
