The crisp, clean air of the mountains during the winter is truly invigorating. Spending time outside is a wonderful restorative – whether you are on an exotic white sand beach in the tropics, or at a ski chalet surrounded by high mountains and valleys in France.
If you are the adventurous and sporty sort, you would undoubtedly appreciate spending time outdoors, surrounded by nature, and engaging in a challenging yet adrenaline-pumping activity as well. Skiing has been a popular winter sport for years, primarily due to the combination of nature and physical challenge that is quite addictive.
