With travels and gatherings put on hold, socially distant activities like skiing and snowboarding may be the only outdoor fun we'll be allowed to have this year. Getting together with friends and family is normally on my December schedule, but not this time around. Instead, with winter almost here, I'm looking to ski trips and cabin getaways for a change of scenery.
