Really the difference between tolerating winter and thriving in it is finding an outdoor winter activity to enjoy. Whether it's skiing, skating, snow boarding, broomball, pond hockey, skijoring, snow tubing, snowmobiling or even just sliding. Find something. I'd mention ice fishing but I'm not sure that qualifies as a real activity. As typically practiced, it's really just boosing on ice.
