If you can’t beat the cold weather, might as well join it! If balance isn’t a problem for your loved one, then snowshoeing is a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Just pick a (relatively) warm day with minimal wind and get out and enjoy your neighborhood, park, or trail. You can rent snowshoes at some local parks (such as Stony Creek Metropark in Shelby Township .) REI, a sporting goods store with locations in Troy, Ann Arbor, and Northville rents them as well.
Snowshoeing is a workout, so don’t be too ambitious on your first time out. Of course, if you do get tired, you can always take a break and enjoy some coffee or hot chocolate from a thermos and enjoy the snow glistening all around you!
